update*** Mercedes a journalist from The Autopian investigated deeper into this and wrote this June 20th

Sorry it's late just a lot to process from today but this is the gist of what I gathered so far. I took notes of all the people's names and everyone I spoke with through the day. I am trying to compile this info together and gather input from other people to figure out what we need to do to stop and reverse this.
As far as I know Massachusetts is no longer friendly to registering fresh off the boat imported vehicles with a short vin under the guise of safety.
