Topic: Canadian dollar cramping your style?

[Sly Bob]

Just this past summer the Canadian dollar was around par and for a time the Canadian dollar was worth more than the U.S. greenback. Many vendors, whether in Canada or in the U.S., price their products in U.S. funds and as the  dollar goes down in value, those products get more and more expensive.

Does anyone else find their mods for the Solstice getting a little harder to do because of the exchange rate?

Good point Sly!  I am sitting here right now praying the dollar goes back up at least 10 cents.  I am sending some interior parts out to JPM in a couple of weeks to be covered, and I am also sitting on a wad of money that is screaming to be spent on the Solo shorty mach.

The worst part of the CDN to US exchange is actually at Solo.  As far as I can tell, they are a Canadian company, but list their prices in USD.  That means to us poor canucks, the price of the exhaust I want has gone up 25% (once you factor in the real exchange rate the banks and credit card companies charge us above the already dismal exchange rate).  Too bad I didn't buy the car earlier, because I would have loved to make that purchase when we were pretty much at par.

Come on Market Speculators, where are you when I need a foolishly inflated Canadian Dollar!!!!  lol
