They're all ugly. I'll admit that I don't know much about either so I'll pick the GT-R since its the most rare around here.

GT-R for me.  Out of those, it probably has the most robust engine, transmission, and differentials.  The engine note is pure sexy as well.

I usually say "the devil you know beats the devil you don't" but the Skyline has such a mystique around it, I have to go for it.

Which one do you think I'd pick?

Well, you're wrong.  I'd get the LHD conversion kit and pick up an R34 Z-Tune. 

The Version 6 STi is a very close second, though.
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

Why?  With some 240SX and 300ZX parts and a conversion kit, I would no longer have to drive the world's fastest mail car.

Yeah, but think about all the looks you'd get getting into the wrong side of the car!  I'd love that confused look on people's faces.

Man, when Bryan comes back, I'm going to get him to source a Skyline for me.  Or buy one of his.

You've never changed lanes to the right?  You just check your blind spot.

Left turns in traffic would be a pain, though.

Compare model years to model years. The Evo out during the same time as the R32 was lighter, and the R34 is a lot heavier than the Evo.

it's not as hard as people make it out to be. i've been in an LHD corolla and passing on two lane roads was not that hard. the driver said it took some time to get used to.

Two, if I'm not mistaken.

However with him being gone so long, I believe it's an "IF he comes back", instead of "when". :( Sad, really. Same with Jadewolf. He's been gone 7 months. Gasoline's been gone a while too.

it's relatively easy to get a sykline(or anyother car) into canada than it is to get it into the US if the car is older than 15/20 years.
can you just drive anycar across the border from cnada?

GT-R, but my practical choice would be the Sube in base trim (not STi). I could never bring myself to take the nissan on a dirt road, and that's what's so appealing about the WRX and EVO.

Realistically, I'd choose the STI, but if someone was saying "here, pick one of these three, and you can have it for free", I'd go with the GT-R...so that's what I picked.
