I agree, but methods to circumvent that in order to restore fair use rights should not be illegal.

I understand both sides of the argument and, in principle, I agree; however, you're not going to convince Congress.

It may have been remotely possible to modify it, but I gave up on the idea after reading that it took Bill Gates a few years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to get street-legal Porsche 959s here.

Gates has a street-legal 959?!? That was an amazing car for its time.

He and Ralf Lauren got it going. They had to lobby (pay) for a law, wait for regulations to be made according to it, and reengineer a lot of the engine, but they did it. Apparently it's now just shy of 600 bhp due to some modernizations, especially of the turbos.

Like I said, if it was that difficult for Gates, I didn't stand a chance.
