Skylines being seized, the crackdown begins.
Apparently the Department of Homeland Security has been monitoring cars without DOT bond releases. Whether it’s in response to the rash of wannabe “importers” we’ve been calling out, or just routine business as usual, there have been several siezures in the past couple weeks.
