If your in the US just buy a ek hatch, a CTR swap, and a ITR suspension/5 lug change over. You will spend around twice what the car is actually worth importing it over here after the importer does all the crap to it so it meets U.S. spec. I could have got a hell of a deal on a R32 Skyline a couple years ago but I had to have it imported. Pushed the price up like $12,000 on top of the price.

Eh-HEM!

Ok people.. time for a little history.

Now, the reason why the british had their cars like that was for the british officers to drive and shoot a pistol at the same time while driving a Jeep or whatever they have. I guess everybody got used to it and it stuck that way. No lie, its true I know it sounds silly.

^^ Right idea but it pre-dates the car by nearly 1900 years.
It goes back to roman times, when soldiers marched they carried their sheild in their left hand and sword in their right (as most people are right handed) so when they passed somebody (i.e potential enemy) they would be facing the correct way to use their sword.
It was also used because when riding a horse and cart the drivers whip would be directed towards the centre of the road when he used it, thus not endangering pedestrians walking on the other side.......now that really is the truth.

What is this war between the Allied countries now. If you keep acting like that I will report you to the admin or moderator. NO HATE!!!

Sorry wrong person I do not mean that towards you I meant the other person that says they hate brits.
excuse me but thats childish to threaten to report me to the moderators.. they have a job.. they can do it well enough with out someone telling them how to do it... in no way did i personally attack him because i did say no offense to him...

So you hate all British people just because of some woman, that seems perfectly rational to me. Have you even been to the Uk? Or more to the point have you ever been out of your country? seeing as only about 1/3 of your population own's a passport.
Oh and we do everying the wrong way round, think you need a history lesson as we had roads well over a thosand years before America was even discovered, thus meaning horses and carts rode on the left side. But I guess ignorance is bliss.
i will rephrase my statement... i feel due to the current situation and more service men going threw the countries most not all.. bristish women are creating a way of being hoochies to get married to the american men and come back to get a green card... history lesson point in case..this started in world war 2 when the british women would prostitue for the american soldiers...
now as for the roman soldiers. thats rome.. not brit. and yes..i do own a passport.. yes i have been to england.. and every other country in europe minus a few.. and yes i have been other places.. im not stupid and im not ignorant...

Well actualy it is britain because the romans conquered britain nearly 2000 years ago (and the rest of europe for that matter) and lived here for many years. they were a highly advanced race and gave us much infrastructure, roads etc which are still used today.

I think you need one, no one "discovered" the Americas... there were already people here. Most people forget about that.

Around where I grew up there's roads that are exactly where Native American roads use to be.
