The females also dress nicely but there is no way they had the diversity you see in the American corporate workplace. None of those short skirts or high heels or cleavage or excessive jewelry.

I should add that the women here are absolutely beautiful and rank up there highest to anywhere else I've seen in the world. I don't speak the language (I'm American) but for some reason, we've still been able to communicate and get along so well.

New models really have no affect on this scene as many cars will always have a large demand for aftermarket goods regardless of what is released. It's quite common to be able to walk into these speed shops and find many parts for certain cars that are 10+ years old as they will always be tuner favorites.

Definitely agree on your ebay comment. I personally would rather pay more money to be able to physically browse an inventory and bring it home the same day with a 100% guarantee rather than view online, pay shipping, wait for it to arrive, then hope you didn't get scammed.......
