Sorry if I put words in your mouth, but what you say here is tantamount to calling him a liar.
I typed out a lengthly reply, but then said "fuck it" Why don't you pick up the phone and speak to either of the RIs listed on the FR in the past 6 months who have dealt specifically with DEFENDERS. I can assure you the paperwork I held in my hand and the truck I looked at were 100% legally imported. I know for a fact that Globals '99 was also, and Global has posted the documentation of others he has legalized.

Alright, it seems I am getting all red in the face over nothing seeing as it doesn’t, and wont affect me.
The way I see it is that if everything here was 100% legit, there would be no problem with disclosing how it is done. Since no one is willing to do that, it screams “scam” to me.
I’m not saying that it is, there could possibly be a legitimate way to do it, but I cant see a reason to be secretive about it. There are only 2 reasons for secrets, one is for national security and the other is to cover up bad stuff. And D110’s are not a subject of national security….
Now, I know that laws can be “bent” and that there are “ways around” anything. That doesn’t mean that some EPA Nazi wont come and confiscate it. What happens when every state goes to the same clean air requirements for vehicles that California has? It doesn’t look like its too far away. Will this mean that the vehicles will not be able to pass the emissions tests? I don’t know, but I wouldn’t gamble $20K, let alone $70K on it.
If the way these vehicles were brought in is legit, than there is NO reason why we cant be told how.
O, and Golden I am glad that I could be your comic relief for the day.
Just remember, what comes around goes around. Karma is a bitch
