Our Loonie is now worth over 0.94 cents US
I didn't go to Harvard or "Nuthin' " either.....Market size has nothing to do with margin..... Market support does.... and any market is nuts if it will support that gouge....... but hey, more power to him.... I guess selling 3 bottles at 200% margin is a better business model than selling 100 bottles at 30%...... in some minds.....

I just bought a new steering wheel in the US from a Porsche dealer. Saved $1,000 over the Canadian price. I'm telling you, the best thing for owners would be if PCNA went to a consolidated P&L....

I just ordered a set of rotors (for when I need them) from the US today.
A few hundred $$$ in my pocket is worth a bit of extra effort.

The Zaino issue is, Sal Zaino will not ship to CDN end users......

BTW, I bought a bunch of Zaino stuffs from http://www.carpolish.ca/ last month. Really nice guy to deal with, and he gave me very detailed instruction on the applications. Same prices as Zaino Canada. It was a hell of a lot of work, but *wow*, it does look great afterwards.
