That doesnt work in California. You can be doing 80 and a cop will pass you by. At 65-70, youd be be run off the road or shot by someone with road rage
Well, put an NRA sticker on your bumper and shoot first

LOL!


In other news, gas just jumped up another 2 cents. 3.37 now! Oh wait, i take that back.. i forgot that 9/10's of a cent. Really 3.38.

We'll be up to 3.40 by tommrrow im sure of it (other station i mentioned is already there, but hes always leading the charge in prices so he doesnt count. :P ) ,

Any bets on how soon we'll hit 3.50? I say, 2 weeks or less.

Hey I feel your pain. Come Memorial day weekend i have to haul a trailer full of stuff up to my place in Maine. I bet i'll spend at least $200 in gas doing it, when last year at this time it'd be about $80-100.

WHen did i pitch this b*tch, last thursday?

I didnt drive ANYWHERE this weekend. Infact, didnt even start my car.

Drove to work this morning, gas station i usually go to is now...
3.39 and *cough* 9/10's of a cent. Why can't they be honet and say, It's 3.40.

That means that in the timespan of 3 days (or less), gas went up another 5 cents. SO this coming thursday marks 1 week. I may win this "bet" yet.

3.50 gas, here we come, 4 dollars ain't so far away is it?

Didn’t that chap in Germany benefit from the 1929 crash, you know the one. We don’t want history to repeat itself do we?

To judge by recent trends it'll soon drop a little, for a while (weeks or months) before it starts to creep up again to top previous highs. Rinse and repeat.
