1. Funny cars, that jump up and down. Buyers, Japanese, Taiwanese, China and
HK. Major suppliers; East L.A. individual car craftsmen, mostly Hispanice.
Estimated market potential: $20-25 million a year in sales. 
New customers: European market, former Soviet Bloc, middle east, shows, 
public 
events. The heat is catching on. Big fancy, l950-60 circa American cars only.
No one wants a jumping VW. Some interest in funny van conversions, jumping
vans.
2. Indian artwork, bankets pottery, jewelry.
Buyers, Japanese. This has been going on for 20 years.
$30 million a year busines, lot of cash deals.
3. Log Homes, buyers Japanese, and Chinese.
This has been going on for over 10 years.  $30 million a year business.
4. After market performance parts for cars.
K&N, Akimoto, HKS, Tornado, SpiralMax, easy on and done in about 5 minutes.
Market potential $500 million a year. USA has about 180 million cars. This
type of business has been around for 30 years or more, only recently jumped
sky high in sales. The beauty is simple, clean, fast performance improvement,
and little or no maintenence. It is the secret of every street hot rodder.
Most adults, mid-age dunno about it. Large vastly untouched area. Especially
after K&N decided to make OEM type filters for the corporate type driver. It
has now become street legal. Tornado and SpiralMax are already street legal.
5. Health food and herbs, big market, estimated all told, in the billions
world wide. More herbs being introduced all the time.
