Canadain Government is really, really messed up.
Like wtf Canada is gone 100% loco on saftey issues, 
banned ephedria drug for use as it can cause death, faster than normal heart beat, etc.
THOUGH NOOO, Canada belives this drug is still safe and is putting all this BS Saying the US is wrong and its safe,
WTF CANADA GET A CLUE over 50 people died from this thing a few years ago, though they can't let this FMI 5/km bs happen with the evo.
Seriously, if I was to crash I wouldn't be goin 5/km, maybe when Im 70 if I get bad eye-sight like wtf.
With the way things are going, I prob. will be 70 when the damn evo comes along. BS Canada! BS!
-Another vent, I need an EVO, Im goin crazy

We're screwed because we try to appease everyone we're friends with, while doing what's best for our trade agreements.
However with "Jean" gone and his egotistical, spend-crazy ways, and Paul in with his, um, I don't know what ways, things will get crazier for a while before getting better. We just need someone actually minding the store and doing what's right instead of carrying on without using some common sense..
What, again, what do I know?

We miss out on alot of nice cars, the Evo being only one of many.
The other day I showed my GF a Toyota MR-S and she flipped, she's into Miata's and said she'd take a MR-S over a Miata in a second, which is surprising considering I asked her if she'd take a Porsche Cabriolet over a Miata and she said no.
Anyways: New Pontiac GTO, MR-S, Scion, Lotus Elise.
To be honest I really don't think it's a safety issue any more that keeps the cars out, I really think automakers are just saying "no it doesn't meet the standards" that way that they control what cars are in our country. I emailed Toyota about the MR-S and Scion ages ago and they said "it wasn't suitible for our market," but other Convertibles and Box-like cars thrive here.
Plain and simple automakers don't want certain cars to be sold here and they make this **** up so people don't import them and sell them. I'm sure Mitsubishi would have told the Ministry of Transportation that the 95-99 Eclipses wouldn't pass safety if they'd have known what a rush there would be on them by grey market dealers. Not a day goes by now where I don't see an Eclipse.
