dollars up, so whatcha gonna buy?

Well, the Canadian dollar is almost par with the U.S. So is there something you've been waiting to buy for your SSR? We see that BMBLBEE wants to buy an SSR. Perhaps your shopping list is somewhat smaller. Wheels? SC?

Paint Job!

Today 97.38 / U.S. dollar
The strong Canadian dollar is bad for us, business wise.
But it will make shopping fun, on the other side of the creek.
This is when I should have bought those Dayton wire wheels.

The last spike above par my boss bought 20k U.S. funds.
He did sell at a profit.
But this time we may stay even or above for a long time.

Brenda can I have a Supercharger? Please

joedecat · 10-15-2009, 01:54 PM

Interior chrome package from Mark in California . also a nice set of wheels, maybe its time to throw some $$$$$$$$$$ at my Ranchero

Paint - that's tops on my list but really has nothing to do with the dollar because I will have it done here at Auto Image where I had them do my running boards.

Wheels - I thought of you Rebel, having bought yours thru that "tough time" this last 12 months.
So now it's SUPERCHARGER

Chrome - Yeah Chris, can't go wrong with the bling

Try building an old Vette with .70 -.75 cent dollars. Put that together with the cost of Brown Shirt cross border delivery service. I doubt if I could have picked a worse time ('03/'04).
Hence, I am considering QWKSSR's side marker bow ties but need to check with the bank first!

Ouch, bad timing. I'll take that 'ol Vette off your hands

I saw Ed's side marker stickers but I already have vetteman62's Stainless Steel ones.

Big Blue Ox · 10-16-2009, 11:53 PM

oohhhh, that sounds fabulous

Maybe I should head to TX for some vintage spurs........love that old west stuff and leather

Buying a house is a great idea. Are the morgage rates still low down south?

They are low, but I may need cash only. It's in a great neighborhood, but the house is a beautiful beater...

mike s · 11-13-2009, 08:42 PM

Chrome wheels were delivered today...ups...going to GM dealer on Tuesday for the tire swap and mount. Had to purchase tires in Canada for safe trip south.

Great top down weather for a Canadian in November.

Mike

turnheadz · 11-14-2009, 01:58 AM

sweet

so these wheels are after market?

mike s · 11-14-2009, 10:08 PM

wheel concepts from LA...ebay wheel exchange. they send you chrome and you switch tires and send them your plain ones...not painted inside like factory so they show chrome all the way through.

Mike

turnheadz · 11-14-2009, 10:21 PM

I'm glad mine came with the chrome wheels

mortgage rates are low and the homes are half price in Fort Lauderdale but expected to start go back up by 4% next year.

Big Blue Ox · 11-14-2009, 11:30 PM

Maybe I'll buy China...

The dollar is up but know the dollar is gone in this household. BYE BYE Supercharger

turnheadz · 11-15-2009, 11:43 AM

don't cry Reb, life is too good to cry over being SCless

ahhh, but what do I know - I just sleep in and go to bed late. --- Good job if you can get it

Oddly though, one of the tools on my desktop is an exchange rate chart. For the last couple days it's had CA $1 and US $.095

mike s · 11-19-2009, 04:41 PM

New tires today...toyo proxes 2 24,000 MILES on goodyears..inside of front all chewed to sh-t.....back worn down in the centre only. GM dealer said thats normal, happens on vettes too.

turnheadz · 11-19-2009, 08:15 PM

mike s · 11-19-2009, 10:13 PM

The wear on the rears being worn out in the center of the tread is a sign of over inflation or too much air pressure , this is seen more in hot areas where the psi in the tires goes up with the road temperature . On your next tires ,have them filled with nitrogen as it does not expand with heat like air does
The inner wear on the front could be caused by lowering or agressive cornering as it appears it was not the alignment

Dont forget the oe tires were junk on the showroom floor
