Was wondering if SkylineOwnersUSA had been shut down or are they just having technical issues?

The owner of the site got visited by an ICE agent and a DMV inspector. They told him they had been monitoring the site, and monitoring his emails.

So he went pretty quick to shut everything down.

Supposedly they thought he was importing hundreds of cars, which he was not. He did have his own personal car.

He has not come out publicly about it, but I have talked to him on the phone about it.

Gotcha. Pass the word along, Sean, that if we can be of any assistance, we're here.

Glad to see our current Administration is taking care of important business. Morons.

Now you see why I'm always trying to get you guys to join the SEMA Action Network? Influencing legislation is the only way we're gonna get this nonsense handled. It's working in AZ, it'll work in elsewhere.

EXCEPTIONAL info, Vandrel.

Do you mind if we run this as a homepage story?

Let's rattle some cages. I've got some connections I can use as well - If you give the word, this will be on the news. :)

Go for it, passing the word is the focus for now. Talks with ICE will be conducted to try and discuss some middle grounds to meet on with terms and conditions before things blow up in their face. Nothing set in stone as of now as the ball is in their court if they want to play or fight the beast.

We're a member of the SEMA Action Network - I think they'll be interested to hear of this as well.

Tell your guys to hold tight, I'll have a link up in about 20 minutes (I'm a tad slow). Post up if there's anything you'd like to add.

This is pathetic.

We have HUGE budget deficits and they are worrying about THIS?

We have human trafficking and cartels smuggling heroin and we have THIS?

Get a grip US government, it's no wonder we are in such a major deficit.

If this doesn't get you PISSED OFF IT SHOULD! GOD DAMN FEDERAL AGENCIES SHOULD NOT BE ROLLING UP TO PEOPLES HOUSES WASTING OUR MONEY AND TAKING PEOPLE'S CARS, PERIOD!

If it will make you feel better, you and every other tax payer paid for the tow truck to pick up the car, it was billed to a government credit card, at a estimated cost of $200 from what I was told. Funny if you think about it, I paid $400 some years ago for a 300 mile tow on a rollback truck, yet a 30 mile tow costs them $200? Ok.

V,

Sad news indeed. I have to say though do not be surprised if they send you the bill for the tow later.
