To this day, I have this strange curiosity in knowing there’s more to the whole story regarding Motorex and the man majorly in, if not THE center of the whole incident. Not just how it went from importing Nissans (and struggling at it) to extortion and assault charges at one point. Like the mindset of what he was thinking at the time.
Then again, it’s close to impossible on asking the man himself or a number of people associated to him (I think Sean Morris probably explained enough as it is.)... Kind of a strange thing to suddenly (and quite abruptly) end without a closing note.
An A.I. Craft GT-R (for those who can understand the reference) for your time.

If Nissan actually tried to sell these in the United States, rarity would probably not even be a problem. But, NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

He was greedy and incompetent? That explains probably 90% of it.

True. Then again, he had his mark importing Astro vans to Japan at some point.

As I understand it, and I may be wrong, he only worked on the U.S. end, which meant he probably just rounded up vans and dropped them off at the port. Much easier work than importing cars into the U.S.
