    :) Hello everyone - From the Laurentian area in Quebec

    As the title mentioned,
    i am from the Laurentian area in Quebec, in a small and creepy town (haha!) called Saint-Jérôme!
    I am in the waiting process of getting my Micra SV.

    On a random day, my 2001 Rav4 was diagnosed unexpectedly with enough problems that i start looking for a new car. My first new car.
    Waiting. Waiting. Waiting!
    So being on the internet, looking at pictures of March's and Micra's i found this forum.
    Which i think it's cool.
    I have been driving SUV's and 4x4's all my life, but i owned a 1988 Toyota Tercel hatchback that my father gave me, it was all but fun...
    I have never been a small car guy but now, this little bug got me!

    In the past i also have been slamming and swapping Honda Ruckus mopeds and was part of the infamous Total Ruckus Forum, it's where i learned everything about this beautiful 49cc Honda moped. I know for fact that a community can be very helpful.
    I am not a mechanical person btw, but i manage to understand and apply some basics stuff.
    I am handy (and stubborn HA!).
    With my Micra i would like to do small aesthetic changes and share it on this forum and little upgrades. We'll see the options. I find it very hard to find any informations on the internet at this moment. Maybe it's because the car is so new on the market... (?)
    Also, open for discussions and jokes.
    I will post pictures very soon.

    See you around.
    Drive safe.

    Welcome et bienvenue, Li Mu Bai!

    When are you getting your car? Manual or automatic?

    Honda Ruckus mopeds ...
    I always liked that one. Quebec driving rules are different from other provinces, where you can drive a scooter/moped on public roads when you're 14 or 15, correct?

    ...little upgrades. We'll see the options. I find it very hard to find any informations on the internet at this moment. Maybe it's because the car is so new on the market
    Yes, that's the main issue. In Europe/Japan, there are tons of aftermarket options for the car.

    I am getting my car the 17th of april.
    But if my Rav4 gets repaired before that i might have my car before.
    Nissan concessionary is purchasing my SUV back, but i need to change the speed sensor before.
    So it all depends.

    It is an automatic, in magnetic grey.
    i was a little bit disappointed when i first saw this color outside... on the net it is a bit darker.. almost gunmetal or charcoal.
    but when the sun hits the metal flakes it makes the color very bright.
    i got all uncertain when it was the time to purchase. when the salesman ask you "in which color?"
    i stood my ground but was very attracted by the red one too... but they had to order it.
    oh well.

    Province of quebec is very bad with mopeds swap. Any swaps... i have been pulled over many times HAHA! but when they see a 36 years old guy riding it, they usually cool down pretty quickly.
