I have been working with a company that sells truck accessories for a month or so. I can't believe how many brand new, full load pick ups roll into that place, and leave after dropping another $2k on doo-dads. And here in Vancouver it's not exactly high paying job central, so that makes it even harder to believe how much money some of these people are spending! Apparently one of their big stores in Northern Alberta sells $2500 aftermarket/oversized fuel tanks and $2000 grills on a daily basis for new F350s and Sierras. Good thing those guys work on the oilsands, they are pretty much keeping themselves employed! Luckily I am out of there in a few weeks, it's starting to give me bad ideas about how much I need a new Duramax that is too big to fit in my parking spot at home ha ha.
