    Keep buying gas because its essential to driving and cry everytime I fill up until I get used to it. I will just find a way to make more money.

    HOOOAAHHH!!! i am kinda tired of hearing how canada pays more than we do. like its been said, you get paid more for your work so everything else is already more expensive period. here in the states out dollar value is dropping, and we arent getting any raises so we have the same income that is worth less money and shit gets more expensive. Shit will hit the fan eventually and the govt will relize how much they fucked up

    Meh it will cost me $5 a day to go to work instead of $2.86 I guess I will have to take the bike as I do nearly 3/4 of the year........ :rolleyes:


    Did buy some RIG awhile back and some CHV and COP. From one pocket into another.

    I obviously stopped worrying about gas prices when I bought this truck a few weeks ago. You cannot fret gas prices and buy a <25 MPG in the city vehicle.

    When I see people with these trucks who don't REALLY need a truck I assume they can afford to feed it......like any animal owner. Otherwise I have to question their judgment and sanity

    I think China and Russia would stop that easily.......our Defense has been slashed. Ol Ronny is long gone. Those in charge now believe everyone will be all hearts and flowers all over the world.....Glad I won't be around to see the results of the newer friendlier weaker USA..Push button defense.

    So if everybody starts selling their tacos the B/S/T section will saturate with aftermarket goodies...
    Better update my wish list... And raise my credit limit.

    And are not afraid to DRILL for it......Except for the medical plans Canada does it right. Now if only people could get MRIs and diagnostic tests within days of a doctors or without being an emergency situation.

    Hrm.

    $5 a gallon would suck, seeing as I drive about a hundred miles a day.

    But, I'd make room in the budget for it. After all, if I don't get to work I don't get paid. Something would have to give though...I could put off getting the .45 for a year if I had to, we already have the wife's 9 and my Remington....
