From the October issue of Car & Driver:


Hirotoshi Honda, son of Honda founder Soichiro Honda and head of the Mugen aftermarket parts operation, was arrested on charges of tax evasion after failing to declare more than $25 million in revenue over a three year period, thus avoiding a tax payment of about $8.5 million. As a result, Hirotoshi has stepped down as company president and removed himself from any mangerial role. However, Mugen will continue its relationship with Honda.


Whoops!

Why does he need to do tax evasion? Isn't he loaded enough anyways?

That's so old it's not even funny. Didn't we talk about this last year?

Gah...stupid people. Pay your taxes!

No, don't be sorry.

I could just be having déjà vu, too.

Do you have any idea how long it took me to figure out how to spell "déjà vu" just now? It wasn't good. I hope I got the accents in the right place.

It was posted before, but it may not still be on the boards. Mr. "I race in F1" posted about it a couple months ago. He probably deleted it the next week.
