    $1.00 us= .99cdn!

    Not in almost 30 years has the dollar been so high!

    Does anyone else think that the us dollar would be a good investment now.

    The govs will not allow it to stay so high trade ,visitors etc.

    It cant stay that strong for ever!

    Great, my Loonies are finally worth something. What I get a kick out of is folks from New Brunswick coming across the border to Maine to buy Canadian (Irving) gas.

    I just read this article about how high car prices are in the great white north.
    http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/26/a...ice-discrepan/
    If our currencies are equal in value, how can Canada's prices be so inflated?

    High to protect the cdn car market as well as "saftey standerds" that are different from us cars.

    something will have to be done to equilize the differences.

    Or lower the cdn doller hence the origonal question is the us$ a good invesment

    Someday when I grow up, I'm going to have a dollar, and I'm going to go to Canadialand and buy 99 cents with it.






    I just realized that probably 5% of my posts here start off with me saying 'someday when I grow up...' Which means, I'm going to have a lot of crap to do whenever that happens.

    Performance: AirHammer, Hi-flo cats, Bassani exhaust, Predator tuned, Mopar perf springs, Hotchkis sways, BT catch can, EGR delete
    Interior/Looks: Custom embroidered Katskins, custom embroidered console & cargo covers, tinted tails (Charg-um), Upper and Lower grills (NC-SXT), 'Cuda stripes, 20" Torque Thrust-M's, MoPower Shaker, MoPower Chin spoiler, PAINT!
    Tunes: Pioneer F90BT, JVC Arsenal KS-AR8004D + Kenwood KAC-7204, Infinity Reference setup including 2 10" subs in custom embroidered RobbyHo enclosures
