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) !

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?

Beautiful car. Guards red rocks.

Just tell the cop you were confused between MPH and KPH, as you bought the car in the US.
