I plan to pick up a GT-R sometime in the next few years, always loved them.
One day I'll get a R33 GT-R but for now I'll stick with the G as a daily driver... I was actually looking for one before I bought the G but I couldn't find any in good condition that I liked. I did see a white R33 GS-T I think, driving on the 401 once this past fall.

True haha... yeah the GT-R isn't nearly as good of a DD as the G37 is. If I picked one up it would be as a summer/weekend car only. I haven't seen any R33 on the road yet, quite a few R32s though. There were 2 really nice R33 GT-Rs (1 was a V-Spec) for sale somewhere at this RHD importer, they guy who works there posted some pics on the Toronto Subaru Club forums (since he drives a subie). Both were really nice, they had them for a VERY short time before they sold apparently.

Thanks bro! Haven't decided yet if we will get the sport bumper... though I must admit it looks much much better!

You can probably see the little lake called Elephant Lake on the map, well there is a smaller lake without a label that is attached to Elephant Lake just to the North, well this is the lake that my cottage is on. From the end point of the blue road (Peterson road) you can hook up to the black road that goes through Algonquin park... this is a very scenic + beautiful drive.

You would NOT believe the amount of bike traffic on that road during the summer. It's like ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM constantly! haha. It is an amazing road though, after it makes an almost 90 degree right turn, it gets fairly twisty and there are several hills and drops, it is a very exciting road. There is a road that you have to take to get to my cottage, well it is even more hilly and twisty than this. Maybe 10-15km long, not very long, but really really fun. It runs basically underneath where the grey "note" is about Buckhorn Road 3.

That's not to say that I don't like the motorcycle traffic! I have a 2008 Suzuki LTR450 (see pic at bottom) (its actually much much faster than the G37!) and always ride it along trails up there, for portions of it you are alongside the road and sometimes have to go on the side of the road... well I almost always get waves from bikers up there ! I remember one time there must have been like 20 Suzuki GSXR's going along that road, I was off to the side just taking a break and they all waved as they sped by haha. Harley guys are usually jerks, I've tried to wave at many and they pretend that they don't see me, one even gave me the finger!

If you want some gradient around the city, that's a good road. I'm not talking about a small hill either. Last I remember it had a decent uphill. Go back to 2003, and ask me and the new RX8 I was "cleaning up" for the show room.

If someone goes by there, refresh my memory if it's a good road or not. By no means am I suggest anyone speed or race there though!

Can't wait for summer too as I've been getting deep into detailing. Spent way too much on supplies and equipment not to mention to much time on the Autiopia car detailing forums. Glad I got white as it hides swirls in the paint.

Hey Nighthawk, do you drive up 9th line to get to Milton? I see a silvergrey G37S once and a while with snows when I go to and from home.


Talking about detailing the car!.. here are some pic of my finished products.. I detailed my Altima (RIP), my dad's Maxima and My G37S

Enjoy.. sorry about the picture quality..lol I took them with am iphone!

^ Nice bro. Are those 17" wheels? They look like they barely clear the brakes LOL.

BTW had an 05 Altima SE-R w/ the 6 speed manual before the STI. That car was sick on the highway.... let's just say it surprised numerous BMW owners (specifically E46 M3s!)

Haha I knew that the S had bigger brakes but didn't know that they were that much bigger! haha. You should see the 17" BBS's on my STI lol, they barely clear the brembos! Only a few mm of clearance I think lol.

Saw a black sedan on Airport Rd heading towards Bovaird in Brampton around 525PM today. The only badge on the back of the car was the Mt Fuji, everything else was debadged.
