Saw this on Autoblog and figured it is something that would spread well through auto-enthusiast forums…this would make NUMEROUS cars we aren’t allowed to have become MUCH easier to bring here and register…

Such as:  
Skylines  
Silvias  
Escort Cosworths  
Nissan Pulsar GTiR’s

this list goes on and on…

to skip the article and just sign the petition, go here:

“The White House has agreed to respond to any We The People petition that accrues 25,000 signatures in a month. So far, this particular effort has only gained just under 5,000 names”

feel free to cross-post the living SHIT out of this.

I have lusted and had wet dreams of owning a 94(year of the bigger turbo) Escort Cosworth…they are becoming more available close to home because of the 15yr rule being in effect in canada and I would LOVE to have the option of obtaining one in the next few years as the fun/project car.
