Hard to believe these cars are over 10 years old now on the higher end. It won't be long until JDM examples can be imported to Canada.
Time goes by too quickly. |

1. Idk maybe weebs are willing to live with the inconvenience just so that they can say that they have a JDM car. 2. A lot of cars get exported from Japan because Japan has pretty stringent inspection laws, often making it more trouble than it's worth to keep older cars on the road. Oftentimes if you want a cheap car you can get a Japanese import in better condition than a similarly priced domestic car. In the future, an import will probably be the cheapest way to get into a twin. |
