Thumbs up The Ebay Auto Depression Game™

It's friday, it's lunchtime, and I'm here playing a little game I made up to pass the time and make myself truly depressed.

The steps to play are quite easy, and are as follows :
1) Fire up the EBay US site
2) Search for any desirable piece of metal, (preferably with a Buy-it-now price)
3) Do a straight dollar conversion to $AUS
4) Take three seperate looks at the price in $AUS
5) Smack head into monitor or desk repeatedly in frustration and depression
6) POST your results into this thread to share the anxiety!

To introduce everyone to the game, here's a few I prepared earlier.. (current exchange rate being $1AU = $0.734US)

* 2006 Dodge Charger SRT-8
* Price in AU = ~$57,000 (buy it now)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dodge...19243142QQrdZ1


* 2006 Mustang S281SC (supercharged)
* Price in AU = ~$80,000 (going on other buy-it-now S281s)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-...18849310QQrdZ1


* 2003 Lamborghini Murcielago
* Price in AU = ~$204,000 (reserve of $150k US)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lambo...19929788QQrdZ1


* 2004 Mercedes AMG E55
* Price in AU = ~$80,000 (buy it now)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Merce...19663644QQrdZ1


* 2001 Porsche 996 911-Turbo
* Price in AU = ~$106,000 (buy it now)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...20087805QQrdZ1


Ok now people, who's going to play! The person who makes everyone cry the most wins (or who gets people the angriest at our government and situation)!!!!
