Default Why can't we have anything nice?

Why wont our government let us import JDM vehicles. Or to another point why didnt the auto manufactures sell the vehicles here to begin with, its pure shenanigans if you ask me. The whole not being able to import them for "safety" reasons is shenanigans as well. To say that a Nissan Skyline could be unsafe when you can drive around antique cars and such that would get owned in a crash. This is just a random rant because I was looking at some pictures of a sexy R34. If only Motorex or whatever company it was didnt get shut down.

Here is the car that gave me the urge to rant.

some other sex we are missing out on:





What are your guys opinions? Would you not drive these lovely JDM ladies because of unknown safety information?

The only safety issue is your ***** against the rear window when you drive them... I would love to drive around a 5th gen Euro R or SiR... gah...

5th gen FTMFW lol.

I personally would sell my soul for a R34 here in the states(I know there are some available, but out of my price range).

It rivals the NSX for my favorite car.
