My "new" toy. Here is the story. Since high school I have been wanting this car. First was the USDM spec however as time went on and I started getting more into these Japanese made vehicles... I got more into the JDM spec of things.
Anyways I wanted to import this vehicle so badly however at that time the GT4 was not yet 15 years of age, so I couldn't import it. While waiting there was a fight going on between importers and Transport Canada going on for the worse. The ruling that one cannot bring a vehicle over unless the vehicle was at least 25 years of age. Since I heard this, I felt that I should give up on my want to bring the GT4 over to Canada... So I bought my first 6th gen, a 1997 Celica GT 5SFE:   Had this vehicle for a while, then found out that the ruling for the 25 year importing fell out. So I imported this baby:   I was now the second owner of this GT4.. and I now obtained my dream car!!! This is where my story begins... This post has been edited by DKGT4: Nov 22, 2012 - 12:31 AM |
