Holy crap, it’s amazing to have a car that just works!
The G35's been treating me great. Very low oil consumption, great performance. I’m used to American V8s so I keep short-shifting at around 5k on on-ramps because I’m not used to having another 1500 rpm to play with. The stereo is still awesome, and I’ve already started on a few minor tweaks (350Z Y-pipe, tail-as-turn modules, etc). It’s currently got a set of X-ice Xi2s mounted on its factory alloys, so I’m looking into getting a summer set of used wheels imported from Japan (VS-KFs, Vertec VR-5 Pinsos, Cerberus IIs, Bazreias or something else?) as they’re cheaper than I thought.
Schoolwise, it’s finals season! More or less a week of exams and then a few days off. I’m guessing that the usual “work hard for good results” still applies in college, so there’s my game plan.
I’ll probably live in Ontario for the summer! That of course means becoming a permanent Ontario resident, although that process seems easier than I expected. While I was visiting my folks in BC I caught myself saying “I’m tired and I just want to go home” on a couple of occasions. I’m guessing that’s a sign.
On a more personal note, I’ve finally managed to accept my gluten allergy, and I’ve been feeling much better over the past few months. I’m planning on picking up a set of freeweights by next month, just because the school gym’s hours aren’t always ideal for me. Also, I’m almost done my first semester and I still haven’t consumed any caffeine! Set your goals, etc.
But yeah, that’s a better look at how the past few months have been. How’s everyone else been keeping? Any plans/goals for the new year?

Right on! There’s this guy on the Grassroots Motorsports forum who can import Eastern Bloc cars to this side of the Atlantic if you really want one.

Hey cool! The place I was talking to in Poland had quoted me $5000 or so including shipping to Canada (they are quite cheap there, even for decent ones).
I wouldn’t mind contacting the fellow in question and asking him what he would charge? The question is though, does he have it thoroughly checked over before it comes here...the place I was talking to already is a fairly well-known classic car shop.

Honestly, $5k CAD is pretty good. I’d probably go with the shop that you’re talking to since you seem to already have a pretty good relationship with them.

Well, if by good relations you mean I messaged them back and forth on Facebook in 2016 a few times, then yes. :P
They seemed really nice and genuinely caring about their customers though! The guy even sent a pic he had taken of a forlorn 126 he had taken on his drive to work that morning, haha!
