The first magazine cover that Christine Mendoza (@ChristineMendoza) appeared on was also almost her last. When her mother found out that she'd sat for a photo shoot with Import Tuner, she flipped and threw one of her slippers at her. But thankfully, she got over it and let the Filipino model continue her career by making frequent appearances at Hot Import Nights events and other car shows. And, believe us: We are sure glad that she did!
