Port theives got my Lazy boy, lawnmower, various tools and a cigar humidor...

On the topic of parts, regardless of how you ship them you still have to pay duty, so it would be cheaper to ship then in a shared container than with a car as a car is a minimum $5000USD import charge plus duty. When I imported all my stuff from Canada I only paid about $400USD in duty for the car parts.

When I go back to Canada this summer I'll have some parts waiting for me to bring back in my suitcase

so what i was trying to say in arabic that one day was basically i used to export cars to lebanon all the time at my old dealer. we used to send like 30-40 cars per month. mostly C-Class W203, Avalance, LR3, X5, so on and so forth. We had to hide stuff with the spare tires, nav discs never made it, cd magazines always gone, we had an avalanche bed liner get ripped out. So much crap got stolen so we had to be strategic. I wish I would have made it out there at least once to visit the dealerships and see the city. I wanna party in beirut!

Upadte - got the car back last night from the exhaust shop, the car sounds like an absolute beast with the headers, Magnaflow and new piping!!! Low, low, low grumble at an idle and low revs then an absolute screamer on the top end - it's perfect!

Anyways, it was dark so I didn't get any pics and I had a very early morning flight so I will post a few pics when I get back later in the week. All went pretty well, some issues with the fitment of the headers (I'll be writting a review later) and the tips need to be spaced out a little more but all in all, I am one happy camper
