I'm watching the new Grand Tour series on Amazon Prime, with the new guys, and it's good. They've done some interesting new things, and shown a few things that I'd never heard of... like, cutting cars in half in Kaula Lumpur for tax purposes, making their parts affordable

They went to Bombay Beach, on the East side of the Salton Sea, opposite Salton City... and that's the Bombay Beach drive in... lol. 

but when they went to Kuala Lumpur, and needed to get an alternator, and found that cutting junk yard cars in half, is a thing, to avoid taxes

 Malaysia imposes exceptionally high import and excise duties on foreign vehicles (often ranging from 65% to 105% or more) to protect its national automotive brands like Proton and Perodua.

A 40k Mini, costs 120k there... for example

To bypass these staggering whole-car taxes, auto-recyclers and importers in Japan, Singapore, and Australia slice cars in half before shipping them

one of the places they stop into while in Kuala Lumpur is the gas station that Larry Chen featured in one of his You Tube videos about 6 months ago, the Initial D-themed café and car culture destination... that was a surprise to me that I recognized the place!
