Honda Canada is really pissing me off...

[Joelsmom85]

did someone mention truck? lol

Honda isn't the only OEM to do this type of thing. Most if not all do. I know there's additional costs for operating a business here in the great white north like our Unemployment policies, healthcare etc but at double the price? that's whacked.

There are all kinds of places that will allow you to ship your purchases to them if the seller requires a US address, then forward it to you.

My question to you would be: why do they have to be genuine honda parts? There's a plethoria of aftermarket dress up parts available and I bet they would have no problem selling and shipping the items cross border. Just make sure you US USPS, UPS et all charge a brokerage fee, USPS doesn't.

For all they know you could be buying parts as a gift for someone in the US.

Nerf bars lol, like your vehicle is ever going to see bush.....the only bush it's going to see is if your wife does some feminist on the hood lol......

There are two kayak roof kits at canadian tire. one sits on the roof and really is just a piece of foam and some tie downs. $39.95

Naw not even then I think it's fairly well documented that she shaves, good line though

 

[Fertility Q]

But would the feminist shave as well ? :neutral::???::neutral::???::neutral:

And in other news; the sun will rise tomorrow morning.

Companies have been screwing Canadians royally for years and we take it up the ass like the sheep that we are.

Go to Chapters to buy a book and there is a U.S. price $29 and CAN $42.
They were quite upset when I said I refused to be anally raped in public and left a stack of purchases behind. I even offered to pay in U.S. funds at the lower advertised price but they would not have it.

All the car manufacturers have cross-border protectionist schemes.

I could go on and on with examples in software, designer clothes, cell phones.
Canadians get fucked on price.

CG instead of doing it on-line, call a dealer in the U.S. tell him what you want and arrange to pick it up at their location on one of your trips and PAY CASH. People still like cash, ask any SP.

The sad part is that the Canadian economy will take a hit in the long run. People are not stupid and will shift their buying patterns for lower price. Just look at the amount of illegal tobacco that comes in through Indian reserves due to obscene taxing.

The J racks aren't the problem. I don't have the bare bones roof rack on my truck... And I'm kind of a stickler about fit... That's the reason... If you know of an aftermarket version that is compatible I'm all ears. (I haven't researched this properly yet...)



Yep...

Yes! Its pretty much a prerequisite...

 

[Sarah A]

I've done that too! But for greeting cards! LOL Poor girl behind the counter had no idea what to do! LOL (She took it though.)



I have already considered this option and have a sneaky suspicion it will be the route I go... But I feel better having vented my frustration here! (I'm leaving later today for a lil weekend getaway with Mrs. CG and figured I'd better vent here in the lobby instead! :shock: )

[Slobo]

Thanks for the advice Laggy! I think we're aiming more for this version:

 

[Jocelyn]

Well, getting back to the orignial situation... I think I found a viable solution!

Now... to decide on what kayak should I get!

 

[Deke]

Ummm that's the gayest looking thing I've ever seen.......

 

[hate late people]

wait until you see it on a Ridgeline :tongue:


Could not resist.

 

[The One With Three Eyes]

How is that gay looking? :???:



:slap:

 

[Pompal 09.]

LOL

 

[Mark S]

Well, just LOOK at it lol....

To me, it kind of reminds me of those "colour converter" lens' that you could buy in the '50s to convert your Black and white TV to a colour.

Kind of hard to explain but imagine putting streamers on the handlebars of your mountain bike and then you'll understand......

If you want to do it "right", this is what you could be looking at:

[Braniac w/ no Brain]

Won't work properly... Due to the sloped lines of the cargo area of my truck... Plus this would require permanent holes to be drilled to accommodate the uprights.

Regardless, I am still weighing my options for the easiest most cost effective solution. I thought the hitch extender was a great idea... $100 and I don't have to permanently install anything... :great:

 

[fantabulousfatima]

I is a great idea.
and they work

How old are you ? :tongue::tongue::go:
