Yeah sometimes I stop and think how spoiled we are out here in California as far as the scene is out here. We get D1, Drift days and any other major automotive venture out here while in the east coast most people are uninformied and think drifting is simply doing donuts.
Also with all the US offices of the Japanese companies located in California does not hurt either. JIC, Tein, Buddy Club, Apex'i, Greddy/Trust, HKS and the list goes on.
As far as US companies such as APC, Rotora, Velox, etc wether you like them or not are all located within very close vicinities of each other.
Shops such as Phase2motortrend, Jspec, Motorex etc. also doesn't hurt either. Then not to mention Nissan head quarters just happens to be in California too.
Of course to counteract all these we have the worst cops that out here to get you for having a modifed car and worst smog and visual check that we have to go through. So be glad you guys in the east coast don't have it as hard as us on that. Sure you may have to wait forever for all your stuff but be glad you don't have to be hassled for the stuff on your car.
