    Prices are good on that web site, but if I did it, I would go a little more $$$ and get aluminum...these look like the brass swaps. Not sure "aboot" Quebec, but down here in south Texas, we need much more cooling power.

    By the way, is it offensive to poke fun at the "aboot" accent in Canadian talk? When I was up there last year, I poked fun at their "monopoly money" at a casino (which in all reality is very pretty money, very nature oriented, and I have considered retiring to Canada, since I really like thier politics and laid back environment, and mostly cool temperatures). Anyway, the lady acted offended about the money joke, and I was trying to make it sound like a compliment.

    Last thing I want to do is offend a good group of people, so let me know...I have never met a Canadian I didn't like. Really nice, overall, and personable. And a beautiful country.

    Actually Scott, "aboot" is more of a regional thing, pretty much limited to the maritime parts of Canada, but the rest of us make fun of them too. :evilsmile

    I wouldn't sweat the money thing. We all know our money's prettier than yours. :rofl: And by and large we all have a pretty good sense of humor. I'm gonna go cry in my cereal now...

    I figured it was regional, like "aint" in the US.

    I really enjoyed the people on all my visits to Canada. Really laid back people. If I can figure out how to retire over there and still get my Social Security benefits....

    The weather is great...unlike Texas which has two seasons...Winter for about 2 months, then Summer for the other 10 months!

    Yes it's brass one. The weather it's certainly colder here just Texas word we know it's mean hot... I saw some kind of ''Texas hamburger'' at TV commercial :biglaugh: ''monopoly money'' I never think aboot this one [​IMG] we have canadian tire money too :cool:
    I don't know about ''aboot'' accent here, in Québec most of pepole speak french but not like in France. I mean we speak Québécois, we use a lot of anglicism and Québécois slang.

    Move to Victoria. There are so many people there with clean hot rods,
    My dad went there and flashed some pics of our 62' Cadi, and a guy offered to buy it for a good some of Dough. So you know there have got to be some nice mavericks. Not to mention that one of the largest car shows in the world take place there annualy.

    I know some spanish; I am going into Spanish 4AP and I hate it when other people do that. I work with 3 hispanic guys, and the shop manager is white, and he tries to talk in spanglish!
    He truly thinks they understand him better when he says "We need cuatro(4) of estos(those)"
    haha, when he could just say it all in english, and they would understand it better!
