R.I.P. He was great drifter. I just loved that blue/chrome Viper.
WOW! Terrible News. RIP Shaun!
One of the pioneers in the import world. NuFormz always had some of the best cars out there!
Shaun's 1.5L CRX was amazing in the 90's, and still to this day!!!
This news just shocked me. I had followed Shaun's car crazyness since his early days at mini-truckin magazine. Always making an impression on me on whatever he did. May he rest in peace and a big big huge hug to the family. He'll be always amongst us car freeks.
The MOPAR family lost a great hero. R.I.P. Shaun, you will be remember always.

He taught me not to be a douche. I used to talk shit about how is profwd focus was a waste of sponsor money and how he was in it for the spectacle and not the racing. Then one day at SEMA I was working at the Full Race booth and he and Nick Hogan came up to me. He was the nicest and most polite person I met at SEMA that year and I never forgot that. I felt so bad for judging the man before I actually met him that I changed how I looked at the world. Inadvertently he had made me a better person. I have always respected him for that.
