    2)then, ask yourself why are skylines illegal in the states? That's the case i think a lot of ppl are attempting to make. The feds are wasting a lot of money exporting a product that poses no immediate threat to anyone. And a lot of ppl who bought these cars through Motorex, thought they were doing so legally. So why should they have their investment seized?!? They didn't go into anything assuming a risk.
    Double fail. I would definitely say that stopping bank robbers falls under "other, more useful things" police can do.
    Skylines have been seized pretty regularly for the past few years so there really is a known risk unless you are completely oblivious to not-so-current events or gullible with shady salespeople. To get them legalized would take way too much money and time for the fight to be worth it.

    I guess it was partially due to my typo, but I was saying that the likelihood of ppl just ceasing the import of skylines is about as likely as a bankrobber not robbing a bank b/c u asked him to. Not that stopping bankrobberies is less important than exporting illegal cars
