    I’ve wanted one of these for decades but the options are pay out the ass for import fees or buy a 30 year old model, neither fee great. Hate that my government is apparently dead set on all of us driving massive trucks and SUVs over realist vehicles

      It’s almost as if car manufacturers and big oil write the laws to increase their own profit margins…

      Hate that my government is apparently dead set on all of us driving massive trucks and SUVs spending thousands to money lenders, auto manufacturers, and dealerships over realist vehicles.

      Doubly so if those parties are campaign contributors. Always follow the money.
