I test drove the car on some of the worst roads on the planet (Apologies to the Seattle folks, but your highways are amongst the worst I've ever driven on).

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2004 C4S Cab @ Barrier Motors
I test drove the car on some of the worst roads on the planet (Apologies to the Seattle folks, but your highways are amongst the worst I've ever driven on). The transaction was surprisingly pleasant - Stephen at Barrier was great to deal with and they were extremely flexible with their pricing and I ended up pretty happy with what I got.
A big thanks to all the folks on the board for helping with my questions and special thanks to Ed (ivangene) who went out of his way to do some recon on the car!!! Ed - I definitely owe you a couple!!
Now comes the wait - I'm travelling the next couple of weeks and the earliest I can pick up the car two weeks from now. Well, it'll give me a chance to order some mods for the car while I wait!
I spent the drive home thinking about what I want to do first - definitely a SS kit, along with a NAV\BT\XM headunit (probably go to Benchmark Motors). I definitely need some winter tires - dont know whether to run 17s' or 18's in the winter - any feedback here?
And finally, some hastily & badly shot picturess of the car. I had to catch a ferry for my trip back to the island and didn't have much time to take the pics (ended up missing it thanks to the Canadian Customs & Immigration folks who ended up giving me "special" treatment on the way back home, but that's another story)
!
I stopped down there today and Stephan told me that you stole the car
I am so glad it worked out and i promise you wont even notice the miles I am putting on it
See ya soon, take care!
Way to go Canuck. I bought my car in Bellingham and imported it to Vancouver.
I'm sure you're already aware, but you do not have to pay the WA state tax. You do pay 6.1% duty and both taxes though.
What did you do to **** the border guys off?
I think they had me at "hello"! I should really learn to shut up!
But seriously, I have no idea what I did to get on their bad side! My name must be on a list somewhere. I think they must have thought I was smuggling drugs or something, because they went over my car with a fine-tooth comb.
