Rumor. I doubt they’d do anythign like that. Whos going to export the cars? I sure as hell wouldnt let them take mine. We’d have to start up illegal underground JDM drifting and racing in huge underground parkades. :lol: ---

They may stop the importation of cars, but there is absolutely no way they will take away the cars that are already here. Look at Motorex. They imported cars into the states illegally. The government let the cars that were already payed for to stay in the states. ---

There is no way they can legally take away anyones car, if it was imported and registered legally under all current laws they cant take it away. Now stopping importing of foreign cars, they can do but i dont see it happening. ---

No!!! My future dreams of owning an s15 will be crushed!?! If it ever does happen i’ll have to go extreme and do a s14.5 and make it legal. ---
