I'm sporting nothing at the moment, but likely mere days from purchasing a 2006 Mazda 3 sport. Great cars.

Hey "Oilers_Fan", how is that Sentra working out? They got some less than stellar reviews, and I find you sit slightly high in them. I'll say they are smooth though, and the 6th gear (if you drive a manual) seems to really make cruising good at 100km/hish.

ah you got a gts? when i was looking around i had the option of getting one too but i opted to spend abit more to get the gtr. there is quite the difference between the two but dont get me wrong the gts is still a great car.

Well it will turn 14-18 year old heads, yes, I admit that

When you take into account that we drive on the right side of the road in Canada you realize that the inability to go to drive throughs, park in parkades, park in parking lots with attendants, see when you make a left turn, and make a safe pass on the highway are all very inconvenient.

I know for the skyline you didn't have a choice, but if you ever did and you picked RHD over the same car with LHD you'd be crazy.

Not really. If I got the 350z, it would probably be my summer car and my pathfinder will be my winter vehicle. I did consider that for a little bit, but ultimately decided against it.

Got the echo because I was going to be working out of town and going to Calgary every weekend and liked the cheap cost of filling it up. Now that is over may be time to switch cars. It is a nice little car and great for commuting and saving money but I would prefer to go back to a truck.

There are a lot of nice cars here. CPers seem to be doing very well for themselves.

Ok, so it'll be a 2007 Mazda 3 GT Sedan...that 06 I was looking at got purchased by someone else. :S...as far as having a GTS-t Derek, no I don't. I simply literally have the motor from it in my garage. I had a 240sx to put it into, then I ran out of patience. I sold the car (without a motor) and now I have a 2.0 turbo 6 in my carhold.

The GT has the same engine, just different rear suspension and no NAV package. At least you get to choose the colour (although I do love the diamond grey metallic)

Its the 3rd Subaru I've owned. Had an '04 2.5RS and an '87 RX. Love the cars.

Nice. Did you buy it locally or imported from U.S.?

Come visit the local Subaru forum.

Nothing special here, just a 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo. Move along.

...nothing as of yet (still a student). Vow to own a Corvette someday after investing in a house.

Isnt RHD illegal in N. America?

[Burninator]

I always wondered if passing on the highway was more difficult with RHD because you can't see on coming traffic till at least half of your car is in the other lane.

All you have to do is drive through parkades, parking lots, and drive thrus in reverse. Problem solved!

Nope.
All that is required is that the car pass inspection and be approved for import by the CDT.
