With such frequent changes like that you better invest in a pocket-sized currency conversion table. That's just rediculous :roll:

I use that site and then minus .02 because most sites need to make a commision. Been a world traveler for more years than some guys here so I don't get ripped at places butI like to show why my prices have gone up slightly.

The dollar still isn't gaining on the euro.

Sliding...... been for way to long but I got a cash infushion from fellow flyers about two weeks ago. 1 to 1 rate :P Bought 500 euro worth.

Yeah that is why I wont sell my shit. I got another offer on the wheels not too long ago but shit, I couldnt afford to replace them.

Well it will hurt in the short run but once we remember how to export shit we will be busy making shit for Europe cheaper than they can. That is if China doesnt put the rest of the world out of biz first.

horray for canada :D

cheap parts for me.

[Ryan Stewart]

Oh they will little guy, I know that. Hell they have already killed a good portion of Mexico and is quickly overtaking us as the worlds largest consumer.

Pretty soon (maybe early next year) you are going to start seeing Chinese cars stateside. They are intending them to be cheap but China and Japan has been soaking up the worlds steel for large scale projects.

Hong Kong is about to get 15% bigger.

you can thank our government's massive deficit spending (in part) for the slide of the dollar. but hey, 4 more years can't hurt right?

And New Zealand too.

Even with the US's rediculously high shipping rates!!!
I priced a set of pads (hawk HPS) $97US and guess what the shipping was ....... $70, what a joke!!! But even worse, it is still cheaper than buying them here in NZ

Well they are taking the shit jobs. The ones that Americans woulnt do anyway, well maybe the methheads would.

China has a HUGE population and the work ethic of, well, the Chinese. Capitalism is catching on there in a big way. Its amazing what controlling your own money does to someones ingenuity.
