Default Good to See American $$$ Sinking

We can almost start buying American made stuff again. Man when our dollar was at .62 cents it was kind of horrifying when I priced out items for the 89 vette. Bottom line it was double the list price in Canadian dollars by the time we paid for shipping and taxes.

I've often wondered how you Canadian guys can afford this hobby based on the exchange rate, price of fuel, etc.
Are Canadian Corvette owners typically well off (financially) or do your jobs pay twice as much as ours so you can buy stuff!?! :confused:
