I just want it to drop....

I am paid in US dollars (so buy US VW parts is the same price) but it kills me when I send money home to australia.

Drop to about 88, would be perfect!

I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
Go hard or go home!!!!

We had some financial planners come in to my work at the beginning of the year and they predicted our dollar would be worth about US$1.13 by the end of the year. There will be some good buys then.

Made me laugh. It was 93c when they told us that and it did nothing but go down afterwards. Still interesting though to see how they "think" things will go and the logic behind why they think it means it is possible but I would think parity is more likely.
