How pray tell?

Becuase I'm pretty sure driving a car around with a motor that was never emmisions tested in the united states is illegal...

Then theres the fact that the cars that Motorex "legalized" are still infact illegal.

Whatever, thats a technicallity that seems easy enough to spot... and when it does get spotted the car is going to the crusher.


State laws are easy enough to weasel around... Ignoring federal laws is pretty serious business.
