This thread can't handle double trolling.

Did I ever tell you about my Impreza WRX? It was a wagon yo. Loved that car. Too bad I only had it a short time thanks to some drunk lady.

I think the laws/taxes are ridiculous on older vehicles in Japan.

Tell me where you're going in Glorious Nippon and I'll hook you up with a ride. I've got American/Japanese tuner friends from Nagasaki to Tokyo over there.

I really wish I could tell you where I'm going... as of now, they haven't given me those specifics. Considering I leave in a little over a month, I'd really appreciate having at least a slight clue what to expect lol.

As far as taxes and stuff like that, I'll have to look into it. Depending on where I am, a car might not even be reasonable or necessary. Chances are, I wont be driving. I just kind of entertained the thought since I probably wouldn't have much trouble affording a cheaper car, even after I've covered my costs and set aside a portion for savings. I was mostly just toying with the idea of cars that I wouldn't find over here. I'd love to pick up an older Skyline, but those are kind of ridiculously expensive and cost more than some of the newer models.

So I finally received all my new ignition stuff on wednesday and was pumped to get it in this weekend. Next day I ended up going to the ER for some pretty bad abdomen pain... turned out I had a hernia and had to have surgery yesterday so now I have to look at all these parts on my table for the next two weeks :-/ grrr. On the plus side, I'm high as a kite on these pain killers :-))))

Hey Shady, I got my CF wing installed just to harass you. I'll upload a pic when I get home tonight. Had an itch to do something to the car after stopping by 9k's Sunday and helping pull his radiator and fans. Drilling 8 holes into nice paint never feels good...

^Those are some nice looking wheels.

Made a trip down to AAA today... paid my $15 and now I have an international driving permit. I think it's a little scary that anyone with a valid US license can just pay $15 and be allowed to drive in foreign countries.

It only allows me to drive for a year and it can't be renewed, so I'll have to go through the normal testing process if I stay longer. I'm still not even sure if I'll need a car, so it might not matter.
