Man thats a sweet ride. When I went to school in Windsor I saw alot of cars out there too. They like to bring them across the border some times. Right by my place there use to be a brand new GT500 painted orange, no strips, no badges, blacked out rims and antennas out the trunk with a s*** load of radar detection on the dash. I think they were Michigan plates too. This was all before the GT500 even hit the markets. Must have been a test mule :)

Importing to the States is WAY different than importing foreign stuff to Canada. Look at the last-gen Supra, the Skyline R34, etc etc. Lots of cool stuff can be, and is, brought into the States on a daily basis. Can we say Ariel Atom?

with the M in the center of that Michigan plate I can tell you right off the bat that, that is a manufacturer plate. I've seen a few of plates on a few Ford Cars that come into my work, last one was on a 5 speed Diesel Ford Transit Connect van. I'll keep my eye out if we get a Euro Focus in, not to mention tell you how it drives lol..
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.
