Guess DOT is finally catching up to all the illegally imported R32 and R34s in the states...

The only thing that pisses me off is, Homeland Security?!?! Dont they have something better to do with the money, resource and man-power, like keep the illegals out and keeping Osama from having another fly-by???

Nice to know we're using our tax payer money for things that protect the country from having another 9/11. They must have gotten a tip that Al-Qaeda is planning on using GTRs loaded with C4 to bomb DC.

SoguRacing · 06-12-2008, 08:02 PM

they waste our money. then taxes go up to pay for more shit. and that's how many car being imported. maybe a hundred a year? maybe a few more but come on. millions to stop something that shouldn't even be high priority...fuck

Matej · 06-12-2008, 08:03 PM

Illegally imported vehicles are the biggest threat to public there is, they spontaneously explode whenever near a large crowd of people, and sometimes out of nowhere they swerve into oncoming traffic, usually when there's a car full of children in the opposite lane.

YoungGun · 06-12-2008, 08:04 PM

Shit, I don't care about the skylines being taken away, but the money that's making this happen could be spent WAY better elsewhere as you guys said.

ESmorz · 06-12-2008, 08:05 PM

I guess someone in the dept. of homeland security finally saw f&f 2

**Phlip** · 06-12-2008, 08:20 PM

Hey, you know what they say.
Vote republican; because what REALLY matters can be easily dwarfed by what I can use to scare the shit out of you with. The internets are the problem, they made the Skyline so popular.

97KATURBOSILVIA · 06-12-2008, 09:30 PM

Well this sucks, another question is what are they going to do with the siezed items. They will be at a gov't auction, they arent cracking down on shit. They are however getting there piece of the action and this will always happen not just in automobiles.

sidewaysil80 · 06-12-2008, 09:36 PM

yeah as much as that sucks lets not overlook the obvious...if its illegally imported it's still breaking the law and i guess thats a risk that he got the shit end of the stick on. dude said it was part of an illegal skyline investigation thing which probably meant they were doing their job and looking into un checked shipping crates and it just so happend to be full of skylines as opposed to terrorists. sucks but i guess lesson learned on his part.

Looks like I need to go tow one across the boarder and register it as a show and race car and let it sit.....

Yep, R33s can be imported. Registering is a different story.

i'm pretty sure this is probably somehow connected to something bigger and more important then skylines. the people/groups who use ships to import contraband probably also make a killing of importing cars. c'mon, i think this is probably a little more serious then "bored traffic cop on a corner syndrome" lol

tattoo131313 · 06-12-2008, 10:04 PM

If that was me I'd strip every nut, bolt and part off the car till it was just a freakin shell sitting on the ground.Take everything and put it in a storage unit till they came to take the shell.Then tell them they can have car but they better bring a flatbed and a lunch.

Maybe I'm just tired of my tax money being wasted on bullshit like this. It's almost like some senators unemployed, lazy brother in law needed a job and they just made a "position" for him. Here Roscoe, you can be the chief commisioner in charge of tracking down cars that were illegally imported into the u.s.

Homeland security is just a farce anyway.The took over Immigration a few years ago and turned that into a retarded flea circus.They are too busy breaking the balls of the people trying to immigrate legally (oh boy do I have a story about that) that the real terrorists are just walking or flying right in. god save us from the "smart people"

97KATURBOSILVIA · 06-12-2008, 10:28 PM

^^^^^ Regarding homeland security, how many people thought that on sept 12 2001 (the day after the attack) we would never again have terrorist attacks in the usa say atleast for the past 7 yrs and we havent. So i say homeland security has done its job(they have killed over 20,000 al qaeda members abroad) and (7yrs free of attack) and now there bored picking on our skylines jk wtf though, it has to be a bigger sting thatn skylines.

wrapmeup2005 · 06-12-2008, 10:47 PM

What happened to the war on drugs? What about keeping the illegals out of the country (the ones that aren't trying to become legal)? What about cleaning up the violence in our own country and cleaning up some of the prisons too

? Isn't our education system lacking? There is tons of places to spend the money but our country is a bit screwed up.

There must be something they are trying to get to and the illegal Skylines are just a casualty. Economy sucks right now, how about have homeland build a time machine and take out the monkey running this country before he made it go to shit.

You're so right, I have a few stories too, it's such a pain for foreigners to be here legally, the bureaucratic process is hell for people with college degrees and professional careers, while people who say they're running away from war and tyrannical governments (many times not even true) are pouring in by thousands and contributing nothing (harsh to say but true), and illegal immigrants are being granted scholarships and financial help.
Maybe that's why most Americans falsely assume that the rest of the world is dirt poor and behind in evolution.
Not that any professionals are coming anymore anyway, they go where the money is and everyone is making more money overseas now.

Um... Homeland Security didnt do anything. They're running out of ideas to protect us so they do weird shit like that.

The reason we havent had another terrorist attack is probably because Al Qaeda cant think of anything else. They fly a couple planes into a building. We locked that shit down. They send us anthrax in the mail. We locked that shit down. We're over in Afghanistan and Iraq hunting their asses and taking their oil. They're sitting in caves like damn.. what can we do now? We're surrounded.

I agree with tattoo131313. They're just creating more useless jobs.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 06-12-2008, 11:05 PM

Only real legal Skylines in the states are R33 GTS-T. Motorex never crash tested R33 GTRs. They fooled DOT into signing the bond release for all R33s, but then they got greedy and started bringing in R32s and R34s using the same bond release they got for the R33s. Thats what caused Motorex to go under, DOT basically found out what they were doing and pulled the release bonds on the R33s. The only speculation DOT did was if you already have the car with the bond, youre good to go, if you dont have it, prepare to get it picked up...

The Levin is a Corolla.

So it would be correct.

AE86's over there are either Toyota Sprinter Trueno's, or Toyota Corolla Levin's.
