      We are the party of free market capitalism! We won’t allow rules to stop us from polluting the shit out of everything, we won’t allow rules that will make the world better! We only allow rules that block the competitors of our biggest bribers

      Already are banned in a few states, relegated to being registered as off road vehicles only.

        I saw in the article that they are legal in 19 states. I did not see the off road vehicle bit. Interesting, and thanks.

      Regardless of bans, I’ve heard these cars are INCREDIBLY hard to import. Not only is getting permits for them difficult, but many places selling them domestically have gone around the laws regarding them, resulting in people’s Kei trucks being taken by the government and shipped back to Japan on their dime.

      It’s not an easy thing to get into.
