Fun reading. *NOT.* But interesting in that it showed the NHTSA listened to complaints about their proposed 500-mile per year limit and changed it to 2,500. It *includes* any off-road use! Previously a mileage statement was required, but per the rules I read that has been replaced by a requirement to have an auto insurance policy in place until the car is 25 years old and that the policy has a mileage limit of 2,500 miles per year. This took the place of the previous annual mileage statement.\r\n\r\nAs to enforcement. The government reserves the right to inspect the vehicle. If inspection is denied or the vehicle is found to have exceeded the 2,500 miles limitation there are civil penalties (don't know how much) and the car must be exported. That's the \"ouch\" part.
