I have to say the conditions for successfully (and happily) owning a modified vehicle in this state are more stringent than the bilogical and environmental conditions required to maintain life.
I hate driving an import and worrying everytime you see a cop. I hate being pulled over for 'random checks' just because the police are bored/have to follow stupid and ill-thought of legislation.
I hate being treated with suspect and being treated like a criminal.
What can we do? Surely all the enthusiasts across the state can form some form of unified lobby that will hold a degree of sway in political circles?
Beyond significant change, I think, having owned over 30 Japanese imports now, I will bow out of the game and stick to hassle free Euro sportscars.
