That's a bunch of crap. If they didn't want them on the street when they were "safe and clean" based on current technology, then why can I in the year 2026 purchase, import and legally drive a 2001 340R on the street when their "safe and clean" technology is so far off from the 2026 standard? Yeah, that makes sense .

So wait 25 years and drive it on the road as well or move to Europe where you can register these cars for the road right now.

Which post exactly? The first one where I questioned whether what I was being told by my DMV office was true?
