It's definitely changed as there seems to be an auto parts store on every corner, though they're mostly Japanese stuff. There is a classic car club here which is how I ended up getting the car but as for parts I'll most likely be buying them myself getting them sent to Florida and then taking them in suitcases or posting them myself to avoid the ****ing ludicrous tax here on imported stuff which ends up being an extra 43% of the price and shipping.
There's still street vendors but the jerked chicken I got from the there was amazing and now they keep the red stripe cold.
It'll be an interesting process though as a huge part of it will be getting the parts here without having to pay the taxes.
