[Fot] Repeal the DOT/EPA "25 Year Rule" Car Import Ban

[Tony Drews]

Here's the whole petition.  Takes less than 30 seconds to read, I think:
Repeal the DOT/EPA "25 Year Rule" Car Import Ban to 15-years and 
Allow the Importation of Non-conforming Cars and Trucks

The Motor Vehicle Safety Compliance Act of 1988 ended import of 
grey-market vehicles to the USA. No evidence was presented that 
grey-import vehicles' safety performance differed significantly from 
that of US models.

* Differences between U.S. vehicle and the rest of the car producing 
world are shrinking all the time. Most 15-year-old cars coming from 
Canada, Europe, or Japan will not be significantly different in 
safety or emissions

* Importers of grey-market vehicles have been targeted by monies 
taxpayers have intended to be used to secure our country against 
terrorist activity.

*There's no reason why rules couldn't be relaxed with no real 
detriment to safety or environment.
