Default OT: Support my petition to repeal to 25 year import rule

As some of you know I'm a part-time auto journalist, and obviously a 993 owner. I've launched a White House petition to repeal or amend the 25-year rule so enthusiasts can more easily import non-conforming cars sooner. Our friends in Canada can import whatever they want as soon as the car turns 15!

You can read about the petition more in depth here, and there is a link to the White House petition -

http://www.petrolicious.com/petrolis...-a-foolish-law

Please seed it to whomever you think might be helpful. Less than one day in we're already at 6800...so already this is the most successful petition yet for this issue.

Best,

Ben S.

It is awesome here. I've already imported a 959, a 908, and some Italian stuff...oh....wait....that was my evil twin. Good luck with the initiative, Ben!

Done. 100,000 signatures is a tall order...

Saw this on jalopnik this morning. Signed it even before I knew a rennlister was behind it. 100k shouldn't be too tough. Can't wait for an official response to a stupid law.

I'm sure it will (probably) be a stupid response, but let's wait and see. We have to get to 100K before that even is a possibility.

Perhaps you can get a celebrity like Jay Leno behind it as well. He might know someone who knows someone. Also the Secretary of the DOT is a former 2 term mayor of Charlotte, North Carolina, Anthony Foxx. Maybe there is a RLer from North Carolina who is connected to him, in the event the 100k signatures are met and it gets to the next level.

I'm surprised after the Jalopnik story there are only ~15k signatures.

Guess I can say I live in Vancouver, WA instead of Vancouver, B.C.?

Best of luck, hope you guys get it!

Cheers,

Mike
