[DeTomaso] So where is the new Pantera?

[Scott Mead Photography]

The potential solution was well outlined by Mark in the article: SEMA needs to put forth a lawsuit, but more importantly, the car community needs to inundate the lawmakers  with letters/emails demanding action. If car clubs were to band together and create one large voice of this issue (with appropriate PR and media - what day ye, Scott Black?), you’d probably see the paperwork move to the top of the pile. As with most things government related, the squeaking wheel gets the grease.
