It's was a responsible business decision and Rick is a responsible registered importer.

That particular S15 will be missed.

in all honesty, i was expecting a lot more people to give me shit, but surprisingly that wasnt the case. im amazed at how level-headed the S-Chassis community is over situations like this, versus the Civic/Integra kids who would have ran their mouths. i'm originally from the Honda scene (Accord, specifically. we dislike Civic/Integra owners. lol), so to see how some of you guys kept it cool really gives me a good vibe & makes me happy that i joined this community.

to all of the people who understood why i did what i did, i give you my sincerest "thank you's". i'd buy every single one of you a beer if i had the chance.

to the rest of you...well, i have nothing else to say to you.

but to the op. No one is gonna understand how you feel and the decisions you had to juggle with until their in your shoes. Don't worry about the haters, you did what you had to do and that feeling would be something I couldn't bare. I know this saying might contradict my earlier post, but I thought about it and wondered if I was in your situation. It would be tough, beats being in jail that's for sure, trust me, ive been there. Not pleasant at all.

If anything I would buy you a beer, seeing that I cant, Ill down a 40 for you.

Let this be a lesson to all. If you have an imported car, be sure to always have enough funds to have it exported out of the country if need be. It's a shame, too bad you couldn't save one of them.

California is turning out to be one shitty place to live at times, all these laws for emissions, all these standards, everything they do to control you in one state yet were still in debt, still not looking at anything positive yet, cali makes me want to move out more and more. Such pointless strict laws that honestly do no good for the most part.

I do apologize for you to have to crush the cars, understanding why you did do that over tracking or spending the other money to just only drive on a track. Eventually down the line, you will find something bigger and better out there, it's all a matter of time, best of luck from now on out, hopefully you will be working for another company soon that is somewhat similar to what you currently did.


Cheers,
Best of luck

I dont understand why this thread is so sentimental

You said you imported the vehicles with the attempt to have them legalized. This means they could have even been used for crash testing, unless the shop had other donor cars available for that same purpose. You put your money up and imported them based on that, but now, due to unfortunate circumstances the shop is closing. Your only option now was to either export or destroy. You didnt have any real/polite offers so you chose to destroy.

I personally dont see what the big deal is.. 2011 and everyone needs to put their life into a blog, its all about attention. Bad enough your blog doesnt get enough hits, now you wanted to post or share this on Zilvia.. did you post it on SupraForums too? Might as well, who knows.. maybe you'll meet more sympathetic emo car owners. You guys can sit by the beach and talk about the good times, the bad times, all the times you spent sitting by your car in the garage... or the 3 times you drove it.

If I was in your shoes, I would have exported the car with a quickness and reduced your losses.

Government = 2
You = -2

I should have asked to drive when I had the chance, the seats were so comfy :[. sorry for your loss rick! at least you still have the accord!! I feel the supra could have been saved with american saffety glass and an american bumper support then reinspected, but im not in cali, nevada you would have been probably good, that and an american supra motor with emissions stuff <<, would have been legit as a kit car here. I look like a bum in that pic too

I think I saw that supra on the 60W a few weeks ago. I texted wes (black sc on ame's) since he's a friend of mine and he told me it, along w/ an s15, would be getting crushed and I cried a bit inside. But hearing this story, it sounds like it was a decision that had to be made and I respect the actions that were taken. Kinda wish the gov't would take the money spent on filing all these papers and use them to fix the damn roads.

I agree at the end of the day it's just a car. I understand why you made your decision but I don't understand why you chose to make this so public. Also people getting so torn up over an s15 is retarded. The people saying they teared up amazes me. It's not even your car. There's gotta be a million of those crappy nissans over in japan, get a plane ticket and enjoy one. Fact is, you can't legally drive one here unless you defecate hundred dollar bills. I can't believe all the people saying "dude you should have driven it anyway." What an attitude. Then when guys get busted doing this stuff it's "total bs." I don't view the government as the evil on that issue at all. The car was never made for U.S safety standards and isn't deemed safe for U.S road use. You can't change that nomatter how much you disagree with it. I feel like you could have found a loophole law for atleast track use but that argument is moot as the cars are now destroyed. I'm not calling you out on what you did, it was your property. I just think it could have worked out to benefit you financially given enough thought.

Boom. Head shot.

For real though, Was there anything you couldve done other done destroying it?

Off road use only? Car show? Track car?

Fontana Nissan has a RHD S14 for track use only. Just saying.

You can't change the bond EVER. Would have to ship it back and then re-import it on a different bond. The OP already said he didn't have the money to do this.

Provisional is different from Show/Display is different from Off Road/Track.

Such a waste of a car, I'm not going to cry over it like the other emo kids here, but really dude?

You could have just sold the stupid thing. I got from that story that your attitude was "if I can't have it nobody can", ridiculous. "People were getting greedy".. Really, really, really??

Just a waste was all this was. Very unnecessary to make this as public as you could and look for pity.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the OP even stated in the post his original plan was to part out the cars, but states people were getting 'greedy' as his reason for not.

So rather than part like he COULD HAVE he crushed them.

And no shit you can't get the title changed
