Motion Auto Parts on Arlington Ave in the Bronx... did it has any connection to Motion Performance?

After some careful inspection of this parts retailer (thanks Mr. JoeG and Mr. Joel Rosen), it has been confirmed that this parts store had nothing to do with Motion Performance. In fact, Joel indicated that the parts retailer tried to knock-off the public while utilizing the MP name and fame. Thought I would share my findings as no one here seemed to know the answer to this question.

I recall some of the older Motion adds saying something about being the "REAL" Motion Performance. I did see some other Motion ads which were presumably from the other place...strangely I think they were in the same issue.

I know which adds your talkin about--they were in a couple of issues back when----Pretty sure the issue was resolved --

The shop was a parts distributor for Motion's--MP DYNO PROVEN PRODUCTS----The owner Mel was a friend of Joel and went up to Novia Scotia with Joel on one of Motion's several racing exhibitions-for-Bob McDonald Chevrolet which was a Motion dealer in Nova Scotia---
