Imported cars that weren't sold in the US (or had a US equivalent) must be 25 years or older. I think Mercedes lobbied for that law back in the 80s or some shyt.
mercedes n bmw was on some bullshyt back then


In the 70s and 80s you could get european coupes for cheaper ,including import fees than paying for a us version of the same car. They notice they werent making as much profit and pulled that shyt so now we gotta wait 25 years just to get the cool shyt that was never sold in the us cuz these companies wanna be greedy. :beli:

Why legal in 2024 though????
THE CAR DIDN'T MEET EMISSIONS STANDARDS SO IT COULDN'T BE SOLD IN THE US. YOU CAN IMPORT ONE IN PIECES, ASSEMBLE IT HERE, AND SWAP THE ENGINE FOR SOMETHING ELSE. THAT'S WHAT A LOT OF FOLKS DO.

THE LAW WAS MADE TO PROTECT US AUTOMAKERS FROM FOREIGN AUTOMAKERS. MAKING CARS OVERSEAS WAS CHEAPER. IT WOULD MAKE IT SO YOUR BENZ COULD BE IMPORTED FOR 25-30% CHEAPER AND NOBODY WOULD BUY AMERICAN LUXURY.

IN GERMANY MERCEDES ARE USED AS TAXI AND POLICE CARS. THEY'RE ONLY EXPENSIVE BECAUSE OF THE COST TO HAVE THOSE CARS TESTED AND APPROVED FOR SALE IN AMERICA. THE COST CAN RUN 9 FIGURES EASILY FOR 1 MODEL OF CAR.

I like reading about cars and watching car reviews on YouTube.

One can be into cars without purchasing them.

Rumors of a Dodge Durango Hellcat coming, I already know MSRP gone be 75,000.:mjcry: Add some mods and I'll have an oversized 1000HP truck:wow: I would be King of the road.:ohlawd:

I gotta figure out how to get this money brehs:damn: I want that truck:damn:

I understand being into classic cars. I could never be one of those ppl who need to have the newest shyt. That would get old (and expensive) very quickly.

Fast, cheap, reliable. You can have two out of the three, but never all three. This leads me to believe your 5k 1000hp engine will spend more time in the shop than on the road

You're not getting 1000 hp with $5k breh.. :pachaha:

Im over $8k with just 630hp..

Go to any high end party or club and tell me what you see:sas2: You not stunting in a Dodge breh, bytches don't know shyt about them.

I still love Dodge though:mjgrin:

Yeah ok they know what it is when they see that cat on the side... Dudes know what it is when you pull up.. You gotta own one to know what you talking about...

Dudes in bimmers, benzes and Maseratis striking up convos at the gas station askin how much horsepower in that thing.. I ain’t gotta tell them they know :mjgrin:

It might be possible...a junkyard 6.0 LS motor with a couple Teriyaki Tornadoes might get close before catastrophe strikes

Thats what i got from the yard, a 6.0 from a Denali..

But I'd be damed if I get a junkyard motor, without freshening up the internals.. shyt may start knocking after a month..
