[Mark IV]

BOBL- The letter I posted indeed has nothing to do with what you speak of-it is almost 5 years old. Perhaps I did not preface the post with enough information to make its relevance clear. I am sorry that you took this as a "hipshot assement"-it was not a shot or comment on you, it was a historical document to show that NHTSA is and has been aware of what goes on. And it is NHTSA, not DOT that would be directly involved in such efforts.

One of my points is that companies that violate the law by selling complete turnkey cars will bring increased scrutiny by the authorities. Those who do it right will be harmed by the actions of the violators.
