    i like the integra type- s and type r... why? because it's not overly expensive, and i like the way the car looks...

    if i could afford it though, i'd by a 3 series bmw and supe it....

    i currently drive my bike... because i don't have my license...

    5 more months until i am old enough to get my liscense, but i got no money to get a nice car.

    but i like the acura rsx type r, something that is affordable. and nissan skylines even tough i probably won't get to see one up close in my life

    Back to topic.....:p
    My favourite car of all time is the Mazda RX-7 !!!!.....
    WHY?
    -Because it is powered by the all-mighty rotary (in laymen's term.....2 or
    maybe 3 triangles)!!!....:cool:
    -It's fast and more responsive than your average cars
    -It's a RWD (rear wheel drive)
    -And most of all, it's cheap to buy because it is used.....but hard to afford.....
    :D

    Re: Re: Re: To the car freaks

    Well the RX-8 is no pure sports car....:rolleyes:
    The car has alrite styling, and for those of you who haven't seen it in real life....don't say it's ugly please.... :rolleyes:
    But its engine is pretty impressive. Pumping out 240HP and it is just NA. The 13b-rew had to be twin turbo-charged to gain 255HP (US model).

    I'd say the only chanceof seeing a Skyline in Canada is at a junkyard. In the US, its pretty slim, but possible....:p
    You can buy a Skyline in the US....but wouldn't you want to buy a BWM M3 instead?....Since they are around the same price?

    I think a skyline would cost way more, importing would cost a lot, duty fees, documents to drive it cause its RHD, emission control, etc.

    I think skylines are illegal in canada cause of the emissions it produced. But its legal in the states

    It is possible for the Skyline to be driven on Canadian soil. But it would cost a lot of money because you would need to do repetitive crash tests to meet the safety standards. Also, it would be somewhat slower because you will need to install more pollution preventer stuff.

    In the USA, it is already legal to buy Skyline because a company called Motorex has already imported them. To get the prices for them goto this LINK
