It's not Alabama or any state you have to worry about its the feds. As for over 100, there's way more meth labs around than that. I wouldn't recommended getting involved with that either.
It may be that the prohibition is simply that the Smart Diesel cannot be imported into the United States for sale as a new car. I don't think states are in the habit of registering meth labs and I have not seen any Federal traffic cops......yet.
Not that it would be a bad thing, if nothing else Federal law enforcement tends to not be corrupt. South Carolina and Georgia cops are bad about soliciting bribes.
No they aren't patrolling for things like this which is why the 100 or so are getting away with it. The problem can hit out of the blue when you pop upon their computer for something completely unrelated. Bureaucrats live for that sort of muck raking.
In my experience, Florida and Arizona could be added to that list.
Elio like all the other loving companies will grab the high fast buck first.. That so called number is not a serial or vin , it means you were the 3000th or whatever sucker to send $$$.. You / we have no way of checking to see who gets what first..What is to our advantage is that no company in their sane mind will commit big numbers for something not proven.. Now Leasing companies are a different story, Most Companies Lease autos.. So I do not see either hurting much before the Elio is tried and proven..
