Snow Isn’t The Only Thing Falling These Days

Wow!  The economic crisis has finally hit snowmobiling!  If you’ve been waiting to buy a new sled, wait no more.  Prices are dropping like a stone.  I heard an ad today that a local (within 60 miles) snowmobile dealer has new, 2009 Ski-Doo Summits for $7,400.  Let me put that into perspective for you.  That’s basically the same price they were asking for 2006′s in December.  Hmmm.  I wonder how much the 2006′s are now?  I guess a below average snow year, the economic crisis, growing unemployment, and a host of other factors has driven the price down to the point I’m afraid I’m going to have to upgrade.

If you’ve been waiting for cars (and in my case, airplanes, motorcycles, ATV’s, etc.) to follow, it probably won’t be long.  Sales of durable goods are way off and dealers everywhere are choking on inventories.  So, you’d better get out your checkbook and get it dusted off, because the prices you’ve been waiting for are here.

Now, if I could just get my hands on my share of that stimulus money my good friend Barack has been promising, I’d be on my way.  See you in the stores!
