when i wanted to trade in my FX and get a new car i was contemplating getting a car from the US but there is a lot of paperwork involved. there are a lot of companies that wont sell you a car if you are planning to import it.

Some potential to that. It goes beyond oil too. Right now natural resources are hot. I'd rather be a have than a have not when it comes to resources though. I'm not complaining with my portfolio either.

Great the K enjoys the toys as much as you do Wayne. Or is it the other way around. ( I almost forgot, K caught the big one ... don't mean the fish either )

If you think "2-foot-itis" is a PITA, be thankful you're not an audiophool (sic) like me - or if you are, I'm praying for you.

That's an addition close to crack. The only positive is that the worst you can do is go bankrupt and deaf...

Welllllllllll, if the right one comes up, then I guess it's in the cards .
For the last year we have been talking about going a bit bigger so we can go away in it for a week or two once in a while. But the right boat has not come along, we are not in a rush since we really do like ours. Something to look forward to when Karen retires in another year

Excellent. Nice to be able to look forward to something like that. No doubt with your knowledge you'll find something in time that suits you perfectly.

Nissan 350 starts from $27,900 US compared to $49,500 CDN
Infiniti M starts from $41,450 US compared to $56,400 CDN

make sure u compare with proper equipment. many luxury canadian cars are already close to fully equipped. american cars are usually listed with a steering wheel and am radio. well.. maybe not that bad.. but u get the point

I agree. Differences are pretty big but we should compare apples to apples.
