Roadtrip up to Toronto from Boston

Hey guys.. I'll be spending about a week in Toronto. Debating on taking the G up for the ride, just not sure if it will be as reliable being Turbo'd and all for a long ride.

Is there anything you guys recommend for attractions? Also is there going to be any big car events? G Meets?

I'll be probably staying at the GF's aunt's house. This will be around the 2nd week of July. Let me know what's good!

Not sure where abouts you are going to be in Toronto, but here's a listing of some events in Toronto:

You'll just miss the Jazz Festival (ends on July 2)

Molson Indy - July 7 - 9th

Not sure what type of thing you are looking for. If you could be more specific, I'm sure some of us can recommend a few places to you.

Looks like I'll be going completely across MA then NY.. Then to Hamilton?

What's in Hamilton lol... Anything worth stopping for on the way up to Toronto?

Parking situation: I haven't been to Toronto since I was like 2 so I have no clue how the parking is around the area.

Is it going to humid?
Noticed the restaurant special event and street nighton the calender probably will be doing some of those.
I'll be on the road on July 8th. Planning to stay for 5 days, leaving July 13th around noon.

To get over the border etc, do I need just my license/ID or do I need a passport?
