Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / December 2006Every day my Sprinter gets more expensive
With the dollar dropping fast against the Euro and Pound, the Sprinter I want to get has to be getting more expensive. . I do not know why this is, we are very good at printing dollars. . Why did Spitfires have that target on the side with the red circle surrounded by a white circle surrounded by a blue circle. Seems to me that would make a good target. . > With the dollar dropping fast against the Euro and Pound, the Sprinter > I want to get [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > target. > . Well, on the other side, perspective of buying an american van, which was more than a dream for me just a two years ago, now with US dollar dropping fast, comes in big steps to be true! German svastika was also a good target, too - but not as good, as Japanese BIG RED DOT! That's why Americans were so good at bringing Japs planes down.... I was just pondering the connection between the sropping dollar and the RAF roundel etc... I admit I am stumped. Maybe just tired... Dropping dollar, dropping planes?

Maybe just tired... > > Dropping dollar, dropping planes? Ha. You are not just tired. There is no connection whatsoever. I have just lately noticed the "roundel?" in various places besides the Spitfire and I was wondering if there was any significance to it or if it was just a random design. As I was typing my post it just sort of came out with the previous remarks. . Some of my income is denominated in USD. Rapidly disappearing value in sterling terms. However, planning holiday in USA over the upcoming holiday period. Vegas hotel denominated in dollars. Nicely falling room price... Vague connection, so there!

Lots of people seem to enjoy Vegas. I have never been there. . > Some of my income is denominated in USD. Rapidly disappearing value in > sterling terms. [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > > > . Agreed. Never been there myself. Wife has, however. As the place is pure kitsch, when there, should I rent a really corny 30-ft limo? A streeeetch Hummer, maybe?

Does this still work out since 'American' cars are actually made in Canada or Mexico most of the time? I thought that it was quite ironic that my coworker chose a cobalt over a civic for patriotic purposes even though in reality the civic has the highest american content of any mass produced car made by any company. What is the world coming to? |
