Before I get into why America makes me sad, I must address something very important. This post is NOT ABOUT POLITICS! Politics starts wars. Cars don't. That's why I like cars more than politics.
The United States has some of the strictest automotive restrictions in safety and emissions. One of the rules really crosses the line of safety for many automotive fans. That is the law that a car must be either similar to a car sold in the US or 25 years old in order for it to be legal to import to the United States.

Normal may think that this isn't much of a crisis. However, it is a crisis to people who actually like cars. What this law does is that it allows the United States to control its safety standards, emissions standards, and either intentionally or unintentionally allow US car manufacturers to be able to compete with foreign manufacturers.

What this law does is forbid any GT-R fanboy from importing an R34 Skyline GT-R. This puts any GT-R fanboy into a deep depression. They end up contemplating their life choices and revise their dedication to the Nissan GT-R. Some decide that they must abandon their friends and leave the GT-R fanboy group for other cars. This law has ruined friendships.

All jokes aside though, this law sucks. It prevents car people from bringing in cars that they genuinely love. Modern TVR cars cannot be brought to the United States thanks to this law. The R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R cannot be brought to America thanks to this law. The Audi RS2 Avant cannot be brought to the United States thanks to this law. All these cars are loved by car people all around the world. The United States isn't an exception. The people who made this law must really hate car people.

For those people who wonder what would happen if they brought an illegal car into the United States, the CBP would be happy to take it from you and crush it into a 2x2 cube. Anyone who thinks that they are edgy and rebellious to bring an illegal car in the United States to the United States, please stop. Seeing a Skyline GT-R crushed into a 2x2 cube is saddening. It puts all car people into a deep depression when they see that image.
