    I would like to add that we cannot put all of the blame on the NHTSA or EPA for this one.  Mercedes initiated the million dollar campaign to enact the ban on importation of cars not intended for our market.

              They were upset that Americans were importing G-wagons and 500SEL's in the 80's instead of being content with the 380SEL we had.

                The signatures seem to be slowing down=( They were coming quick and now we are barely over half signed

                  Procrastination... the true mark of an automotive enthusiast.  Everyone thought they would do it later and went back to the garage and now they have all forgotten.

                      This isn't going to happen=/ I have been keeping track of the site and the votes are few and far between.

                          Even if it got all the votes.

                          Nothing would happen
