Not to turn this into a political issue, but Michael Moore's films are incredibly biased. And this is coming from a universal health care-lovin' Canadian. Just my .02.

Okay, back to the car discussion.

politics aside, i would LOVE to come to the states for a club meet and checkout the club members cars and everything since I wouldnt even need a visa issued to come but suggesting me to move is a bit unlikely given the above reasons. however canada may be considerable. got an uncle in Toronto but gotta learn to drive on the right side of the road

Nowhere close to a FR car on handling...
I've been wanting a FR lightweight ever since i drove an S2000 on some backroads in PA.
I'm gonna wait for the 86, but I love my TT to death though...


PS: someone should make the burnout smiley a drift brother.
Just take your Audi. People go up there with any and every kind of car imaginable. It's just to enjoy it.

It's colder than it is here in the foothills of NC but if we didn't do one then, we'd have to wait until late March and into April because of the weather.
