That's funny. Two thirds of the people who "work" for the government can't even tie their shoes.
That You can't believe it isn't surprising. Like so many government employees, you put too much faith in what you read and if you haven't read it, it isn't true. That's what makes a good worker-bee, so you've been trained well.
There's a huge difference between "getting around the law" and understanding how the law works so you don't have to "get around" it.
A person whp pays a bonding company to post a surety bond of 20 grand or more isn't going to spill every secret they know. If he had to pay an RI as much as he did for making a vehicle compliant, why should he make it any easier for people who take food off his plate. Ever hear the expression "Does Macys Tell Gimbles?" ? I doubt it, you're too young.
If you believe that a vehicle NOT on the list can NOT be imported, Either you don't understand the process or how the system works (not atypical of a government employee), or you haven't learned to read between the lines, or, read at all.
It seems so rediculous that these trucks bring what they do, but when you consider an NAS110, now going on 15 years old and powered by a miserably inefficient V8 will bring what it does. I've had one for years and work on them EVERY DAY. I love mine, but that doesn't make it a good truck, In fact, mine, and all the rest, are generally a piece of crap. Would I trade it for one 4 years newer with a Tdi ? In a heartbeat. If there weren't only 535 out there, they wouldn't bring stupid prices, so it only makes sense that the numbers of those brought in by private enterprise are going to command even more. If I laid out what it takes to get them through the process laid out by the NHTSA(not NTHSA, Jeesh you work for the government and can't remember the agency name?) (oh yeah, what's an ICI? Did you mean RI?) I would tell you.
I don't know Golden747 or Global from adam, but I do know one of the oldest and biggest RIs, here in CT, and see what they do to make their money, and what the bring in.
Lastly, until you have some proof you're willing to share with the group, stop calling people liars. Your newbie enthusiam for the trucks is great, but your willingness to spout off your lack of intelligence isn't very flattering.
