Those cars are SO cool looking!  GM made a twin of the Omega (although killing the
looks of it by putting all that chrome shit and huge taillights on it)...now they
need to make a twin of the Calibra.  I'd actually consider buying it, if it had the
European engine of course.  The turbo version would be nice.  But anyway...

I checked into shipping my car I had in Germany (89 Scirocco Scala) and it was a
lot of cash to bring it to the States...probably not quite as much to bring to
Canada, tho?  The total was almost $6000.  Basically, everything that Richard
Fenton listed + the biggie... import tax.  $$$
