Ive heard of nightmare trips home but this one sounds like it tops them all. Was this car ever driven before you made this trip? Sounds like everything is falling apart! ---

yeah it sat for a number of years but was running and driving well when it left japan and when it arrived, despite a few of the lights not working. it only has 60k on it. and alot of the tings that broke aren’t typical of sitting problems. quite odd. ---

Ted, if you need a bed to crash in and you’re close to the Soo, I can hook you up for the night. Someone PM me his number if he’s interested. Good luck dude. And yeah, it should be 6-7hrs from here through Canada, depending on where in the GTA he’s headed. ---

Easy. Go to yellowpages, type in your location and find a garage that is somewhere around 150 - 190km away but is ON the way to Canada. After they bring it there, wait a bit and mention that they couldn’t fix it so you need to bring it to another garage. You paid for the membership. And unless there is something that states you can’t use more than one tow a day, there’s no reason why you can’t get them to do it. It’s just a suggestion. I don’t know how else you can get it back here… ---

Ted this really sucks, maybe call them to see how many services you have left. I thought it was only 4 per year? I got my caa this year since it costs less than the price of even 1 flatbed which my z and probably my s13 needs. How much has this run you so far? Shipping from BC if you know the right places is under 1000 to Toronto. Because I remember when I bought my z32 I was talking to a place about shipping it from Winnipeg to Brampton and they told me 975 (which I thought was normal). I told the guy I bought my z from that it was 975 and I’ll get it shipped he said that’s ridiculous and it costs him about that to ship his other cars from BC to Toronto, so I used his recomended company and it was about 600 bucks to ship my car from Winnipeg. Not every place will fully take advantage and rape you. ---
