But just to make sure everyone knows because it seems some people here think it will be illegal to import one, rhd has to be 15 years or older to import. And as for all the other requirements, there really aren't any to cause a hassle at all. I know of 5 skylines in my home town of about 150,000 people. R32's and r33's. I have a rhd 300zx and my buddy has a rhd mr2. It's not overly uncommon anymore to see them, although I still get looks.


Oops, I think my penguins have escaped from their pen, ill be back in a bit! Hahah

Cheers!

I was kind of wondering why only myself and Canadian Booster had RHD cars lol
That sucks rhd is a blast to drive and super comfortable if your right handed (passive hand shifting, dominant hand driving). I'm going to try and make it to ZCon this year, wonder if ill have issues crossing the border hahah

Not necessarily true. My left hand is now my dominant driving hand. It feels really weird when I try to drive with my right hand. Though it would probably take only a day of driving rhd to switch my dominant driving hand back to my right hand.

With me, it'd be changing the shifting to the left hand that I think would screw with me a bit. Other than that, I would keep hitting the cruise control stalk instead of turn signal and turn the wipers on instead of the headlights.

Hey ace, I'm looking at rwd sedans with manual gearbox options as my next car. My budget is <5500, because I want to avoid payments (10k if payments). How do you feel about the early model CTS?

I like it. Fuel economy is good for what you get, and they're awesome cars. Anything recent by Cadillac I'll support. Mostly.

I'm looking at the 2003, so it's the V6. Not sure if that's recent.

I've been good. I'm at work and this is actually Aaron posting and then changing the name to me. Which is why I'm saying I like to smell farts and stuff. Cause I (Jay) am totally into that kind of stuff.

Recent enough to be relevant. I actually love that bodystyle. It's where they started looking cooler and had a good drivetrain. I think Jesda would be the one to ask about that, though, as he's THE authority on luxury sedans. Now if we could just lure him in here somehow....

Maybe a turkey made out of bacon?

Dre! Buy something fast!

Also, do not want that bacon turkey. Not in burrito. I'm espanol and stuff, so I only eat burritos and such.

I need to buy something quick. I feel old taking the bus to school now, because I'm starting to notice something. There are way more college kids taking the bus now, than when I started college. Plus, waking up a half hour earlier just to catch the bus is really stressful. I'm hoping to pick something rwd, 4 doors, and a manual transmission up by early next week, and the CTS is looking like a real good deal.

P.S. If the other half of the family goes out of town for Thanksgiving this year, I'm gonna do a mega-wrapped Bacon Turkey. Then stuff it with mashed potatoes, bacon chunks (too grown for bits), and cheddar.

Manliest words spoken in here in a while. That whole synopsis sounds delicious.

And yeah, riding the bus sucks major balls. It's sooo much more convenient to have your own vehicle that you get in and go whenever, wherever. I had to take the bus for like a day in Lemoore. And the bus schedule there is actually pretty nice.

Jay, the burrito holds a special place in my heart, but it'd be overkill on my intestines and the porcelain throne if I added it to the menu on Thanksgiving.
