1. Just the other day, I went to put gas in my fuel efficient Corolla

The person before me had gotten $63.00 worth of gas. Ha! Ha! Ha!

[TrogL]

2. That's what it costs to fill my tank

The question is, how long will that last you?

[matcom]

3. me?

about 3-weeks to a month

Saturn's are great! (oh and that is my wife's car. my commute is 1/2 mile and i usually walk)

[wideopen]

5. Cost me about $48 right now

and my truck has the "small" tank. It will last about 4 days if I'm not pulling trailers very much... Yeah it sucks.

[gollygee]

4. Wow. I think $30 is bad

and that easily lasts me a couple of weeks.

[MuseRider]

6. Costs more than that

for me each week and it is killing me. Once we get moved to the farm I won't use that much in a month if that. Until that time we are looking for a cheap, fuel efficient used car that will handle the country roads. Any suggestions? Damn.

7. Get a subaru

4 wheel drive, fuel efficent, sporty, and almost indestructable.

[MuseRider]

9. That is exactly

what I told my husband. For some reason I can't explain he wants one of the Volkswagon Beetles. :shrug: I told him NO, it would not get me around to do the farm stuff but a Subaru would. Thanks.

10. Get him to test drive both

out to the farm. I'm sure he will see the wisdom of buying the subaru. Especially on a rainy day.

[MuseRider]

11. I will

but he does not come to the farm, it is mine and I do the work. But, a great idea. Thanks, we just started the real talk about this today, we had previously batted the idea around but now he is finally getting freaked. I will be thrilled not to have to drive this damn truck around all the time, I feel guilty even though I need it. It is a huge pain, loud and difficult to park. A nice little Subaru would be just so nice.

15. Goddamit

Does that trumpet say anything or not?

[MuseRider]

16. No, it is a clarinet.

No words but you would be surprised how many people have asked me that! Maybe you would not be. Sorry, it is driving some people crazy apparently.

[yvr girl]

8. I thought YOU weren't watching CNN anymore?

Liar, liar, pants on fire.

12. A sports car with a turbo engine was the best sports car decision

I've ever made *knock on wood*
I can go really fast when I want to, but these days I just short shift/skip even gears and squeeze 30+ mpg out of it.

[wideopen]

13. Damn I miss those days..

I've had three turbo and one supercharged car, I loved every one of them. Traded the last one for a mini-van after the second kid. It was a sad day.

14. blitzer, is an ass...

he's part of the problem :thumbsdown:
