nullspace@lemmy.world 5 days agoI wanted to get one of those tiny grandpa trucks when they were going for like $4k new, but apparently they’re illegal everywhere in the US. We’re stuck with $60k “entry level” monster trucks.

They’re illegal in some places, but I think they’re mostly fine. The deal is you can’t import a foreign made car unless it’s more than 25 years old, so the poor American car companies don’t have to compete.
The real scam is the importers get 'em in Japan for a couple hundred bucks at auction, haul 'em over here and sell 'em for 8k plus. They’re pretty rad, but parts can be kind of a bitch.
