As a 21 y/o, I can confirm that we know everything there is to know.

About Canada, it's not that they hate RHD vehicles, it's that for what they cost to repair properly, it's obviously cheaper just to write it off. And for anyone saying "we'll it will not cost that much to replace this.."
No.. It does. Canada is fucking bullshit. Next time you read a book,look on the back at the price of the book for sale in the US, an then the price in canada. Sure your dollar might be a bit more but for the last 5 or so years, ours has been hovering within 5%, often our even exceeds yours! Yet there is still a 30% markup on the book. But it's not just books.. It's literally everything!

Plus on top of that, there would be overseas shipping through freight, customs fees, service fees (because Canadian businesses love to bend you over any chance they get) .. Add that all together and it's pretty damn expensive to fix that..

Only thing I don't understand is why that applies to First gen FDs because all the parts that would need repair in this case are available on the CDM.

Regardless, sorry to hear about your car, Evan. Its a bad situation but There's always that possibility that you come out on top.
