You know the auto industry is screwed when....

[DRIFTER_016]

Done the same myself many many times. Except for the stubbies, not sure what that means.

 

 

You must be a young whipper snapper!!! Stubbies is what beer used to come packaged in in the 70's.

He wasn't sure if it was that.. or a half finished spliff.

 

I think Red Cap still comes in Stubbies.... but only because it's been forgotten in the back corner of the cooler since the '70's!

The Star also reported that the car sales in Ca. are setting record #'s and the Ca. industry is doing well. Trucks were a couple K cheaper in the summer for a week or two but went back up. The add you see here was from U.S.

 

Your going to see trucks built here selling K's cheaper in the U.S. than they do here same as snow machines.

 

They had a new van in the shop here for a wheel bearing, rather than pay a fortune for the bearing here the owner got it in Florida for less than half but it had to be shipped down from Ontario. DUH!

Irishfield, not sure what you mean by that thingy there, never heard tell of a half finished anything.

 

And, being borned in the 50s, I may poke fun at you youngsters.

The Bob Johnson Chevy dealership just west of Davidson's on Kingston Road appears to be shut down now too but I have no idea why, and he was also there for a long time too.

 

Sad to see all these good folks losing their jobs.

I am thinking this might be a good time to buy in the states too.....forget about CDN $ at par.

 

Not looking for a new truck, I am looking for something that will do double duty as a family and boat towing vehicle (1500 lbs total). Maybe like a Subaru Outback.

 

 

Are the deals REALLY that good in the states?
