It’s no secret to enthusiasts Nissan or not; importing a vehicle that is considered “gray market” or not older than the current 25 year old requirement make it nearly impossible to obtain the car of one’s dream.  There is hope for old-car lovers though, and we can try to change current restrictions through signing a petition created by the fellows over at 2009gtr.com.

Don’t delay! It takes literally 2 minutes. The goal is to get 1000 signatures/day and 25,000 total by 12/18/11!

What a spectacular day and amazing turnout! Big thanks to Ann of ZONC and Rob at ZCG for putting together this event. We had 40+ cars meet at ZCG this morning, it was incredible to see everyone line up before heading out to Canepa in Scotts Valley:

The garage/shop was immaculate with Porsche 959s, Gullwing 300SL’s and vintage muscle cars being restored:
