in the early days of the import tuner scene, there were a lot of shady deals and lots of people who were in the grey area running shops, sponsoring people, and many part of some racing crews. so while this was interesting, im not all that surprised, which is why when i used to buy parts for my car i never gave them my real address, some of the older people probably know why.

That was a good read. It is true, this really does sound like a movie in the making. I'd go watch it on the big screen
