Personally, I don't believe the main point of the article (mostly because I only happen to get 3-5 spam a week), but at least this article tells us what stores carry which OEM brands.

Rally Bits...

If they made Ford Focus and Peugot 206 rally bits, the 206 would be cooler than the Focus. I know this mostly because a 206 will beat a Focus every time in Gran Turismo 3.

miniwrx - read this
