Yesterday I went to 7-11 in my mom's Chrysler Town & Country and as I walked back to the van I thought to myself about taking it to the drag strip and making a web page about how it's the new JDM hotness.
It was a fun thought, but I would need to have way too much free time on my hands to follow through with such idiocy. Oh wait, I do.

I remember back in the day my mom had a Previa. Looked so good, I wish we didn't sell it. Superchaged, mid-engine.... h: A bodyshop around here owns a few modified Previas and lends them out as client cars while your car in the shop. I had a lowered 5zigen white one with 20" rims, dual exhausts and everything once. It was a great day!

There's a guy in my area that has an older 70s Dodge Ram van. He cut the sides out and put plexi-glass in them. He then dropped a 426 Hemi right in the middle where the seats used to be. You could see the motor from the outside because of the windows. Was great.

I dunno, I never consider the terms really. I just had a lot of respects for people who knows a lot about cars and would love to learn from them.
btw, why do they called tuner lugs? what is its real name, those type of lug nuts?

the imports(the cars themselves) are not called tuners...it's the people that are into the cars, the one's who TUNE them that are called tuners
