Default Doomed we are...

Was thinking the other day when recharging the R12 ac on my C3 and thought "wonder when these cars will be banned from all the evil **** they contain?"

Looks like it's on the way;

I got real lucky importing my 69 vet from the US a couple of months ago. Got through with zero additional inspection fees (very unheard of - They will mark a car for steam cleaning even with just a dab of dirt on it).

The rules have changed due to Chinese made cladding which has caused lots of issues when it goes up in flames. Unfortunately its had a pretty big impact on the classic car import side.

That article is frightening and hopefully not any indication of what is down the road here in the US.
