   Don't tell that to my friend, just made $13,000 after expenses importing a   
   used BMW M3.  Mint too, never seen salt.   
      
   We should notice a 6-18 month dip as the US absorbs the inflation.  For   
   this, we are being screwed as Canadians.   
      
   I am on strike for discretionary spending in Canada.  Note the operative   
   word, for Canada, saving money to spend in the USA.  I have tried local   
   dealers for prices for what I want, some didn't even call back.  Those that   
   did, are outrageously stupid.  I am not going to take a bath for greedy   
   retailers.  Have 2 US retailers pining for my business, and both called   
   back.
