A firemen's k2500 chevy in central europe i'm terrified O_O oh wait its actually a GMC (imported from here)
I saw that and I thought it might be it but figured it was something else. What's so special about it? Not even that big of a truck.
@potato Big enough for europe they are VERY and by very i mean VERY VERY rare i'm not sure if i ever saw a k2500 actually @Admeister&6677 It is a felicia wagon, look at the 3rd side window Also a Octavia has completely different suspension and the underside
you take a lot of stuff seriously as well. you personally seem like you get very defensive about a lot of things, and it gets a bit annoying to hear one person make an innocent remark about, say, Crown Vics being general cars, and then you go crazy about how wrong they are, to you.
Yeah there are things that I take seriously, but not every little thing that happens around here. Whatever.
I wish the USDM market got smaller and more efficent cars. Even my "little" car gets 6.7l/100km. Or 35mpg.
Obviously they aren't made there, but you'd have far more nice/efficient cars if the NHTSA didn't have their incredibly backwards 25-year rule. Apparently an R34 Skyline is strictly forbidden because it lacks safety features, but an explosive Ford Pinto is a-okay.
Also emissions. So you can own a beat up neon that burns oil no problems yet you can't have a Nissan s15. That logic.
Ah, but we can have an R33 Skyline. Any car can be imported if you can prove that it can pass certain safety regulations. Since the R33 Skyline did, I don't see why an S15 Silvia can't.
R33 Skylines are, indeed, RHD. Saabkyle04 has a review of a modified R33, and it's clearly RHD. The side the steering wheel is on has no effect on the importability of a car. If there was, I wouldn't be able to import a Holden Commodore, but I can because it's based on a platform that's been proven safe in the US. Sure, there's some inconveniences surrounding RHD cars in the US, but the actual being RHD doesn't matter. Things that effect importability are things like safety features (airbags, rollover protection, even glass type) and emissions. That's about it. You can get around these with a special permit. These permits are rarely given out and are usually used for show purposes. However, even with this permit, the car cannot be registered and used on the road, it's just for it to be legal to even posses the car (some D1 drifters may use it for their S15's). If you import a car without documentation, and proceed to hide it, the authorities will find out. The car will be seized and destroyed and you'll be put in prison for smuggling. Welcome to the United States of America, please enjoy your stay.
