I swear Americans have such a good life.

I could probably live on half the salary down there.

Guess how much I paid for a case of beer today?

$65.95

I was thinking the same thing. I never paid attention to where you are in CA. Is a drive across the border even an option? Take the shit out of the packaging and call it spare parts for Customs if they eff with you.

I have.

Especially tires.

Many things are more expensive up here but usually it's due to taxes.

One thing I can never figure out is why tires are so expensive here. We pay almost 3 times what you guys pay. Which is why I never do burnouts in my cars.

I will put new tires on the Z06 next year and I am guessing it will cost me over $3k.

You need a bud near the border on our side and have shit sent there man.
I used to buy tires at 75 a shot and burn them until nothing but cords showing...
Hell I'd throw used tires on spare set of rims and rip them to shreds on a weekend for fun.
I don't suppose you want to know I paid 120 for 2 tires for wife car few weeks ago.
I was getting real nice Pirelle tires for 100 or so, not top o line performance mind you but very nice tires.

Steve, you cheeky kunt, I love you like a red-headed step-brother but do you really think I voted Liberal?

I ****ing hate Trudeau and all his virtue-signaling bullshit. If I ever met him I'd punch him in the face and take my jail time.

I voted for Maxime Bernier in the last Federal election.

Total throwaway vote as he had no chance.

But I will vote for him and a True Conservative (Capital "C") party every ****ing time.

But we will never see anything even close to a true Conservative party in Canada ever again.

Too many "new Canadians" and too many people all caught up in virtue signaling BS.

This country is ****ed.

Just like the UK.

We followed right in their footsteps.

Sorry Flex. Maybe think about moving to the US. Lower taxes in most states. Not Cali or Ny but other places.
