Yes, and it's been done in the past. Will likely still get caught at some point. I had a friend that owned a Motorex skyline where the importer did the testing but then fudged the papers to say it was something else and federal gov revoked its status but people that had cars imported before that got to keep them.

Even by sketchers and jorts standards that's still, wow. The way that article is just dripping with post-boot saliva is a great illustration of the gulf between high class "porche or miata + Land<cruiser/rover>" type car enthusiasts and "buys whole cars for parts" type enthusiasts. Hopefully Doug's opinions have, uh, refined, over the last decade. Can't see how they wouldn't have.
