So, yeah, the basic idea of this thread is to post what car you drive.  Pics are optional but preferred.

As for me, I drive a 1996 BMW 328i.

It's not mine, but it's the same year/make/model - 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix.



1990 Nissan Skyline GTR (R32)

imported from chiba by jdmskyline.com

picked it up in Montreal and drove it home



@BCNR34: How hard are those to import?

I'm thinking about either getting a Skyline in the future or just putting a Skyline engine in a 240SX.



Here is some pics of my sweet ride. Ain't it a beauty.

well, do you live in the US? :P

since motorex went under its become a lot more expensive and difficult to import to the US. i don't really know much about importing to the US though, sorry.

*edit* actually, i think motorex is back now, you can check them out at www.motorex.net the cars are pretty expensive though due to the hassle that they have to go through to import the car to the US, a decent skyline in canada goes for 12-15k$, in america you're looking at 30-80k$ depending on year/model/condition

since i live in canada, i can just find an importer and buy the car directly from them, with all shipping, import duty, gst, and AC tax already covered. plus they come with detailed estimates for insurance companies, since canadian insurance companies know nothing about skylines (at least where i live) insurance is dirt cheap though, i pay 1700$ a year. not bad for a 320hp car :P

a car only has to be 15 years old to be eligible for importing to canada (gray import law), which is kind of annoying (no R34's for me) but there isn't much you can do about that, they are considering changing the law up here to 25 years to stop people importing cars for use in street racing, but if they do change the law, my cars value will go up exponentially so it's a win/lose situation

Mmm, yeah, I'm in the US (couldn't you tell by the suburban background in my pic's? :) ).  I've heard importing a Skyline to the US is a humongous hassle and very costly, so I just wanted to make sure.  I wish they'd give us more choice in the US than a $70k GTR.  I guess my dilemma became a tad easier.  Now I just have to decide between a 240SX, Mazda RX8, and a Honda S2000.

 yeah i edited my post if you want to check out some skylines, motorex is back under new ownership i believe.

i'd go with a S2K, they make beautiful music, and the F22 is a great engine.

rotaries are too much hassle, always having to replace the tips, and you get terrible gas mileage. i used to have an FC3S RX7 and although it was fun, it was just too much work and money to be worth owning.

240SX is a good choice, but you HAVE to do a SR20DET swap, or they're no fun.
