Here’s a cause we can get behind. There’s a petition at the White House website asking for two things.
1. That the Department of Homeland Security stop wasting tax dollars seizing grey market imports.
2. That the DOT and EPA lower its vehicle import age from its current 25 years to 15.
Our neighbors to the north have long had access to some truly brilliant JDM goodies, everything from Honda Beats to Mazda JC Eunos Cosmos, thanks to Canada’s 15 year import restriction. Apparently, their government is wise enough to realize that a few die-hard enthusiasts driving cars from countries with pretty good safety standards already are not going to cause the collapse of civilization.
And besides, doesn’t Homeland Security have some terrorists to kill, or is Al-Qaida trying to destroy America one R32 GT-R at a time?
What would you buy if the US changed its import ban from 25 years to 15?

Lost a lot of the desire for JDM cars really, especially as they age. I suppose if I could have any grey market car I would likely opt for any ove several Alfa Romeo beasts out there that never come here.
