    Something of interest to our Canadian members (and make our US ones jealous!)

    An E30 enthusiast in Newfoundland started a petition to parliament to get the 15-year import rule for cars from outside North America changed. He managed to get his MP to sponsor it, and now we need 500 signatures to have it tabled in Parliament.

    Here's the link--please take 30 seconds to fill it out and acknowledge the confirmation email! Thanks!




    (America's 25-year rule is )

    Our 25 rule might be BS, but our second amendment rule is pretty nice [emoji379] [emoji1] I hope you get the signatures!

      I don't speak for all Canadian's but personally I'm pretty happy about our lack of the second amendment up here. To each their own though!

      Bring on the rare imports! Signed it.

          Are you trying to tell me that Arizona isn't a buzzing hockey mecca!?

            We have the Fort Worth Braums and the Dallas Stars as far as hockey goes [emoji106] I find hockey more entertaining than football or other ball-sports

              Nevada is, apparently, or so we are told. Also, what's locally relevant about Golden Knights?

              It's great that you folks in Canada have a simple way to get initiatives acted on, wish we had anything similar.

                I think someone tried doing this via the "we the people" petition page on the white house website. Never got enough signatures as I recall...

                  I'm sorry, but I highly doubt that I'll ever be jealous of Canada.

                    I would say the same about myself and the States.

                          Eh, honestly I couldn't really care less about the R34. Its a beautiful car, but I have no interest in owning or driving one.

                            Will sign this!

                            As for the previous comments, both have their positives and negatives, we have very limited gun violence up here which is pretty nice. Downside, we don't have the ability to move to drastically different cities/climates like you do. Living in San Fran/San Diego/California in general would be amazing, I love the heat and hot climates but the best I can do is Vancouver - which isn't hot and it rains 90% of the year.

                            Plus it's effin expensive as shit to live here. Family detached houses with small to no yard, start at $900k and that's 30-45 minutes out of Vancouver.

                            All in all, very happy to be Canadian though - especially with dipshit Trump at the helm.
