Franks: I'm crying at the prices you pay!
Davensa: Anyone in Ontario Canada is paying 15 per cent tax -- 8 per cent provincial tax + 7 per cent federal Goods-and-Services Tax (GST). And we pay tax on labour. And we pay more income tax "at source" (where you work), and we make less. And twice as much for gas.
F150Europe: I don't complain. I'm amazed some times at the costs, but I don't complain. Every place on the globe has good points and some not-so-good points. I figure I choose to live here, you just adjust your priorities.
I do my own maintenance so, when I'm done, I go out and buy some of that great but over-priced Canadian beer.

Black 2000 SC XLT short-box. 4.2 V-6, 5-speed, 3.55 Limited Slip. Side steps, CD, remote entry, FORD box liner. Add-ons: Older Windstar driver's side wiper blade (with the air scoop, because I don't slow down when it rains), back-up beeper, "f150online.com" sticker and snazzy Tweetie Bird floor mats.
My third F-series: '73 F-100, '98 F-150 and '00 F-150. Great trucks!
