Sean,

After today's development with Mike's ICE phone call I figured I'd see what your thoughts were for future actions. All of us at SOUSA have been discussing privately ideas for handling this issue if things start to head south for Kaizo cars, Gray markets, etc. all together. Thus far I'd wager we have over a dozen of our trusted inner circle type guys that are willing to step up and get the ball rolling to push this situation to people and places that may take interest to the community's current troubles with NHTSA and ICE. By that I mean the media, Congressman, whoever will listen and get this stuff into the eyes of the public a little more.

Overall on SOUSA we have nearly 1,200 members with at least 300-400 or so that are actual Skyline owners and give or take about 250 different members out of those that are actively on the forums each month. With those numbers and some others from FA, NICO if needed and other local sites, I'm confident we could amass a decent size force that could really shed some public attention worthy of headline news if it needed to come to that. At the least a class action lawsuit maybe in order which sometimes works as well.

Please let me know your thoughts on this matter, if you wish to hop onto the SOUSA discussion let me know and I'll set you up. We've been attempting to keep as much as possible in-house for now until we can all come up with a decent product and solid info to push out.

Thanks in advance,

Hey Sean,

Just curious what you heard about Mosth8d. I've known him since he joined the forum last year, and he's been very vocal and open about his adventures in Skyline ownership.

He recently traded in his car for an EVO + $$$ because he was freakin' out about Kaizo and getting caught up in this mess. I spoke with Daryl a couple times about Rich, and IMHO there is no love lost between the two. Rich has some animosity towards Daryl because he feels that Daryl lied to him about the condition of his car, the legality of the car, etc.

Jixxer and I also met Rich in person about 2 months ago, and AFAIK he's straight up what he says he is. Army dude, a little paranoid schizo but that's cool.

Could he be a fed? I suppose anything is possible... so I'd love to hear what exactly you heard.

-Steve

The other guys in Florida, are typical Florida illegal importers.

My company is International Vehicle Importers. http://www.importavehicle.com or https://www.facebook.com/importavehicle

We are a licensed and bonded California car dealer. I have been in the car buisiness my whole life. Importing and exporting cars. Up to eight NISMO R32's imported/here/coming.

My personal car is NISMO #500.

Hitting curbs at Buttonwillow in SoCal.

What Rivsu has going is good. It is sad that they can't even pay a simple dealer bond (yet they can give a car away). Hope they get things sorted out soon with the bond.

Me and my colleague will be in contact with your company in the summer. I'll make sure everyone else is in the know too.

It's called a fictitious business name in California. For instance, if you as a person open a Shoe Store, and want to do business as " Jeff's Shoe Store" then you would have a fictitious business name. That lets you open a bank account, write checks etc.

Corporations can also act in the same way to open names under the corporation. In this case - WDC Global Exports, which is one side of the business, doesn't make a lot of sense for our importing side. So we file a fictitious business name, so we can legally do business as IVI.

Mostly we export cars, trucks, RV's, and trailers overseas. Lots of our business the last eight years has been shipping to Australia and New Zealand. Before then, in the late 1980's and 1990's we shipped a lot of vehicles to Japan. We really do have more than 25 years experience dealing with import and export of vehicles. Something that very few other people can say.

Our place in Ontario, California. Surrounded in red.

I don't think anything bad about someone not responding to this thread to be honest. I don't think most companies out there would hardly spare a minute to engage in internet arguments and debates. It's not like JSP went out of their way to go onto this forum to respond to the thread here so I wouldn't fault any other business for the same thing. I called or visited all of the places I looked into for purchasing my next car. To me, seeing someone's place in person is more valuable then reading any internet information. Not saying this is the case here but I've had my cars at plenty of performance shops in the past where spoiled little kids would write negative reviews or comments about those shops just because they didn't have money or didn't get their way, yet the shops were top of the line in the area. I didn't see any illegal cars on the Rivsu site so I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. Which I'm in Florida so I may just go pay them a visit and check things out for myself and report back here lol.
