"He was definitely a crack-head or something..." recalls Jennifer Jar, of one hearty spring morning in 2007, when she found herself in a seeded little second-hand shop in the criminal conception of Miami's warehouse district, alone, with $19K in her pocket. "He was really nervous, and definitely seemed same he was into something shady. I was afraid to communicate what." She'd never been to Miami. She knew nothing about the Negro she'd become to see, and nobody knew she was there. "And as soon as he led me into the back room," she continues, "I advert thinking `what the hell did I get myself into?'"
Before her, buried low miles of dust, used toys and antique furniture, sat something she'd only seen in magazines, her dreams, and as of the period before, crappy radiophone sound pictures. "But it was disgusting," she rants, "it looked same a canid had been experience in it for months; the inland was every damaged up, the dash was cracked, every the seats were torn and ruined..." she goes on, "and there was this horrible, unpainted, combat-style embody kit screwed onto it." She goes on, "The paint was f-ed, and it was wrecked. It looked nothing same it did in the photos." And then, after a disrupt and a half-cocked grin, "But it was exactly what I wanted."

Rewind a some years, and we encounter our girl behind the wheel of a turbo Integra GSR, a automobile she bought, built and beat every the boys with at the drags after school. It was right before the F&F prototypal impact screens, and a late-model restricted import roaming the streets of Plano, TX wasn't exactly commonplace. Even inferior so, was one built with high-end Japanese aftermarket parts, without fluorescent paint or Lambo doors. "It was definitely ahead of its time," she explains, "it was my regular driver for eld until I got tired of it... after that, I was ready for something new." The following some eld saw her conception out what was left of the DC2, while centering her efforts on finding something even rarer. "The more I researched the Japanese market, the more I decided I desired something no one around here had ever seen," she explains, "But at the same time, I desired something that was reliable and I could drive routine without issues." The S15 was one of her selection cars since its release, and she found that its parts interchange with other Nissan cars here in the states prefabricated it a practical commuter. "Plus, it was inferior expensive and more low-key than the Skyline, which everyone was after," she adds.
Her large challenge was encountered early-on. "The more I looked into commercialism a automobile and legalizing it for street use, the more I realized it was impossible," she explains. "To clear customs, some automobile reaching into the U.S. has to be brought in by a certified importer." And if that's not enough, "On a federal level, unless a certain help of automobile has been crash proven and restricted to meet U.S. safety standards, it can never be wrongfully qualified low its help name for highway use. And since no consort has done that with the S15, they have to be given a title at the state level, low a kit- or custom-car loophole of some kind." It gets worse, "Most states only provide out a some of these registrations each year, so the chances of effort one are very small." Rather than venture her assets effort confiscated in customs, or impounded and destroyed after she was ended antiquity it, Jen searched for pre-registered S15s in the country. It took months. Some cars had been imported in two halves; others were completely gutted, illegally VIN tagged and qualified as reconstructed 240SXs. But most were already built as vie or show cars and had never been named at all. And then one day, she struck gold. "It was a little rougher than I would've liked," she begins, modestly, "but registered, titled, and ready to go. I bought it that day, and crowd it back to Virginia to get started."
