Have you seen Tam Le's White Honda Prelude? He is also sponsered by Toyo. He's got like 12 tv's in the car, 2a DVD players, a PS2, a lap top, and at least one unsed a/v port to boot. FUll custom Nova-Suede Interior, a 17" Plasam Widescreen TV in his trunk, etc...to name the ice he has. It's usually in the Toyo both, near Joe's Supra and the white300ZX also sponsored by Toyo. These 3 cars would have had a "Performance LAB" decal on the front window at the first HIN in Seattle last year (in march). Tam's sho was perfomrance LAB. He was one of the 3 owners, though the shop folded Tam left the shop as part owner (another story for another time). Tam new his shit, was personable, and had quite a following. He's done work on my car before. I had a performance LAB decal on my front windsheild I put on as a thank you. He had it custom make for me in carbon fiber look. Kinda sad bussiness relations with the other 2 part owners went south, Tam knew his shit...they all knew there shit. Hell, you've seen Joe's Supra, and I am sure you have seen Tam's Prelude and the white 300ZX that both sit at the Toyo booth also. Those were all cars performance LAB had a big chunk in. Anyways, you from the Seattle Area I take it....yea, I heard Joe was a High School spanish teacer...I bet his students love him...that'd be a way to motovate em...."here you go...improve your grade, and I'll teach you some tricks when working on your car," LOL. Yea, Still...I like the Blue R34 Skyline owned by...oh shoot, I forget his name, but he sometimes goes into Superior Auto Tirm and helps them out. He's Sponsored by Do-Luck of course (makes sense, cuz they are HQ in Kent, WA). His car's usually at the Nissan Booth...I love it...Advertise the company with a car not availbable on this continnent that almost none of us can afford to import and buy. Oh well, it's a slick car. Kelly Williams, who's shop is in Federal Way I beleive, has a really slick Honda Civic with Supra Tails and a Chemolin (sp) paint job. Anways, I've rambled enough, lol. Yea, if you havn't seen the cars I mentioned above, look for em at the next Seattle HIN this March...Espcieally check Tam's ICE out...he wins Best ICE at almost every HIN and Import Rev he enters.
