National government intervention into cars being sold in the US and A… moving forward DOT inspection might not be the only legality when bringing over cars non-us produced. Also what happens when the FLEET increase in MPG works so well that they move on to tackle all the ‘old’ cars out there? just an ugly road to start traveling in my opinion. :gives: totally agree. the gov getting it’s hands into private business is not the way to go. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/obama-car-related/202804)._
