First off, it's guys like you who make it hard for the rest of us to import race cars. Those cars were allowed into this country for OFF ROAD USE ONLY. I know, I bought two of the Lotus cars (Elise Sport 190, and Exige S1). I signed all kinds of docs when I bought mine and it was made clear to me that if the Feds caught me driving or registering the car it would be impounded and exported or destroyed.
No, it's the government that makes it hard for you to import race cars. I can't speak for everyone, but I will be the first to freely admit that I do not always follow the letter of the law. I don't feel any remorse about it. I am not five years old, and this is not kindergarten. I consider the law to be one factor in a sea of them. Again, for me to respect the law, the law has to be respectable, and it is not. It is not the government's business which car I'm driving.

If the EPA wants to reduce emissions, the feds should tax fuel at a high rate. These types of things wouldn't affect me directly.
