Andy Warhol was famous for say, "In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes." In internet years, that equates to 15 seconds.

Chinese brand that are sold around the world. They recently opened a plant in the US though (yes that is backwards to what usually happens)

The snows are actual very popular for trucks, police cars and other commercial vehicles.

They are also pretty big in the race/drift scene with their performance lines but most just know them by GT Radials.

Someone at Subaru actually told my mom "oh no, you don't want to put winter tires on this. That would be bad for it."

I can't convince her otherwise (she had snow tires for her previous car...)

Also, since Jeremy is now famous, he has to switch to Pro class next year.
