What are some way to buy older evo generations such as the 5,6,7?

Some of you, pro-gray market smugglers, are spreading a bunch or hearsay.
Long ago, Geo and I and some of his DSM friends in O-town went to G'ville for the 2nd annual Summit racing. Yes, indeed that car was a mirage. The catch: the guy did swapped everything out (except for one thing) . . . Geo did a little investigation under the hood and VIN. Then again, he TRIED to claim it as a real EVO, which it wasn't, just like you see in Cali those S15 swaps (not the real deal)! He got mad at us and closed his hood. Now, if he had an accident in that car, the insurance company will PAY out a mirage retail value.
So, those people who claim to have a real JDM mccoy . . . some maybe lying to score brownie points amongst the masses. More than likely, it's a swapped car.
Of course, there are those people so hungry for those shady skyline dealers . . . they don't tell their stories of being ripped off +30 grand for no car. Personally, I want to see those people!
As for people believing FL laws are relaxed, why don't you people try their hand at fighting the FL DMV?
