The prices are unbelievable. An all but NEW (2006) 17,000 mile Ford Van (I'm gonna pick it up) for $6500. I looked at dozens and dozens of 2500/F-350 Diesel trucks, all with lift kits and sooo many add-ons and wheels and suspension and such and I could get into one for as little as $11K with a high of about 24K. Unbelievable prices for me to see.

H2 Hummers in the low 20's everywhere.

The van is about 1/3 price of at home, the trucks about 1/2.

Deal city for sure. Now I just gotta get the rental back home in a few days and fly back...

these are all used items.

So.....have you picked out any of our lovely rust-free California beauties to spirit away north of the boarder?



BTW - I've been meaning to share this one since back in the politics days.

After your elections, you mentioned Canada had many parties, including a national pot party. I mentioned this to Michele who's response was 'Really? When's that?'. Uh, political party Michele, political party...

We're still getting a good laugh out of that one.

Yeah but there werent any taxes on it, if they legalized it then they would have to regulate and tax the chit out of it. Steve

so, let 'em tax it.. more for the Dem's to suck up and waste...

they already tax fuel and alcohol and tobacco, and people still stand in line for that stuff, so what's the difference?..

:hijack: :cool!:

I don't know if this is true, but I'm guessing that even with a huge tax it could still end up cheaper than whatever it costs on the black market, and probably of much better and more consistent qualtity. Just my suspicion.

:hijack: :cool!: Agreed, just stating that they wouldn't be able to simply legalize it without growing the goverment several fold, Steve

Got a Van for $6999.00 that here would go for $18,000. EASY. I looked at a PILE of GMC/CHEVY 2500's, 3500's and Ford F-250 and F-350's.

They are giving them away. The list of extras on these things (all turned in to credit agencies due to non-payment) was un-imaginable. 12" lift kits, exhaust, tires, stereo's etc etc etc. All but NO miles...

15-25K :D

Didn't pull the pin on one of them yet. Too much snow to shovel and Pot to put into the new van in the frame rails.

AWARD WINNING thread Hi-Jack Buiz :yes: :yes: :yes:

Len,,, fill the spare with buds and use nitrogen to blow it back up, it'll stay fresher...

if you stuff the main tires it'll separate the seeds quicker as it rotates

of course, tire balance could be affected...

not that I know anything about that.. :bonk:
