This, Motorex did legalize some but only a few and then tried to pass wrong information as real information and got caught.
So, the guy saying this is the last one actually makes it a bad buy as the ones near the end were the ones under suspicion.

It's a mix of things. (1) it's a nanny state. The gov't knows better than you about what cars you can drive. (2) More importantly, the safer the vehicles, the less severe the injuries in crash situations, and the less severe the injuries are, the cheaper it is for hospitals and ambos to treat you, as well as the easier it is for cops to quickly clean up after you.

Bottom line: it's always about money.

Man those are sexy

And really, it was not safety of a crash I think the government is worried about.
The hippies fight hard when its come to the environment, the R33/34 never did any EPA testing so the engine is not safe thus the car is not allowed.

But even then, it boils down to money. The EPA wants its vig.
