ouch, that’s rough, but must’ve been a fun car while it lasted.

i drive a miata today, chances are i would’ve bought a z car new if i was around in the 70’s.

I had to google what that was, nothing piques my interest more than telling me I can’t buy it.

Most likely there wouldn’t be a hard ban, just Chinese cars are banned from government procurement programs, which shouldn’t hurt them as all foreign cars are excluded in practice.

You don’t see a Toyota or Mercedes police car, and neither companies are struggling.

What might exist is social and peer pressure to not buy one. It might be effective in the heartlands, but costal cities especially ones with high immigrant populations probably won’t care. People want a quality car at a good price.

i actually recommend you go the other way, smoke one up inside the car and enjoy it the way it is.

your car is a lounge on wheels, it’s the cigar type of car for the cigar type of people, wood paneled studies, fine scotch, cigar to smoke, lc500 to drive.
