Michigan plates ... Ford has lots of interesting vehicles being road-tested around Dearborn ... when I used to visit Ford of Canada HQ on a daily basis I used to see tons of great cars with Michigan plates ... Euro Foci, Mondeo's etc etc

Man thats a sweet ride. When I went to school in Windsor I saw alot of cars out there too. They like to bring them across the border some times. Right by my place there use to be a brand new GT500 painted orange, no strips, no badges, blacked out rims and antennas out the trunk with a s*** load of radar detection on the dash. I think they were Michigan plates too. This was all before the GT500 even hit the markets. Must have been a test mule :)

Importing to the States is WAY different than importing foreign stuff to Canada. Look at the last-gen Supra, the Skyline R34, etc etc. Lots of cool stuff can be, and is, brought into the States on a daily basis. Can we say Ariel Atom?

Problem is most insurance companies don't right 10 digit VIN's like the Skylines and other drool machines. <_<

John ur completly right my buddy imported a rhd 92 GTR Sick car wicked fast two low 13's completly stock. He put some $$$ rims suspenision and stuff over the winter then spring came around and no insurance company would see him and the ones that did wanted over a grand a month so basically its unusable so he he will try to flip it for what it cost him or turn it into a race car.

with the M in the center of that Michigan plate I can tell you right off the bat that, that is a manufacturer plate. I've seen a few of plates on a few Ford Cars that come into my work, last one was on a 5 speed Diesel Ford Transit Connect van. I'll keep my eye out if we get a Euro Focus in, not to mention tell you how it drives lol..
