Default Just picked up my '06....

Its my daily driver, slapped on some Blizzaks WS50's - they are awesome!

I have a couple of quick questions, is there a prefered dealer that everyone uses in Edmonton for servicing?, and any referals on where to get the 3M'd (already found a couple of rock chips )

By the way, I bought my S in Kansas and drove it up a week ago! Feel free to ask any questions on importing it accross the border.

This will catch up to anyone that didn't pay it. You really can't avoid it... not if you want to legally register and insure the car anyway

Congrats! The 06 is going to be a lot easier to handle in winter with the VSA.

Post pics!

nice job man. What color did you get?

How does one get away from paying the duty? Just had a nice customs officer who let it slide or what? Don't think there is really any way around it other than that.

Thanks for the comments...I bought Berlina Black, there was no mistake on not being charged the duty, all in all I still saved a ton .

By the way I bought in Kansas because I had to be in Denver for work, so it all worked out, the trip was awesome, me and the wife took our time coming back, we left from Denver on a Friday and got back on Monday.

Driving in winter wasn't nearly as terrifying as I expected, the Blizzaks and the VSA are phenomenal, it feels like even if I try to throw it out of control, it simply wont let me. Great confidence builder...until I hit a patch of black ice or have to drive in freezing rain !
