I have been around the automobile industry my whole life. My Dad has been a car dealer since he was 17. I guess I have gasoline in my veins. Exporting cars.Importing cars. Selling cars. Breaking cars. Building cars.
I got into Skyline GT-R's in 1991 when I went to Japan, and really a little before then because of a Car and Driver article. I started working with importing them to the US in 1999. Since then I have been, playing with GT-R's. I don't own one, I just drive them, work on them, break them
Google USA GT-R blog.

http://www.automotiveforums.com Did nearly a year preparing for World Challenge. Ran the car in 5 races in 2006. It was hard, it was fun, it was expensive. Next year, cheaper stuff, like drag racing and drifting.
