mad323-
well, we may not be on their land mass, but at least we have hot polynesian looking chicks!
a bit off the topic here, have you seen the sequal to "once were warriors?" something like "what becomes of a broken heart"? my cousin bought it but it was pal format, so that sucked.

Damn you anywhere but US market bitches!!!
You guys are so lucky. The Japanese until recently with the (detuned) WRX kept the good stuff out of our market. The Germans want too much for their cars. US manufacturers either give us fast, but crude and impractical machines (Camaros, Firechickens, Mustangs) or boring daily drivers without an ounce (or grams for everyone else) of sportiness. The Japanese tend to combine practicality with sheer performance, and we import enthusiasts have been dying to get our hands on Skylines, Silvias, 323 GTR's, Sunny GTi-R's, Astinas, 626 hatchbaacks, Civic Type-R's, Lancer EVO's, etc, ect, ect. I especially an want all-wheel drive sports coupe, hatch, or sedan; like the 323 GTX or GTR. But draconian US importation laws prevent me from getting my little hands on forbidden fruit like this...
Damn it!!!
