THANK THE LORD FOR GAS PRICES!!
 
My roomate took my car to work yesterday. Parked it in someone elses spot. Didn't bring it back with him this morning though. I called the police and they had no idea about it possibly being towed. 20 minutes later the police call back to report that my car was picked up and towed from the interstate. Someone decided to steal my ------- car from my office. Funny thing though, because the gas prices are so high i dont fill the tank anymore. 5 bucks at a time because i only live a mile from the office. I hadnt put any gas in the car for a couple days so the ------ bum who stole the car got about three miles down the interstate and ran out of gas. haha fucker. the ---- did tear my dash to ---- and stole my cd player. Stole the damn pillar mounted gauge pod too. Had a box of parts in the trunk and a Box with 3 10" woofers and three amps. the only thing stolen from the trunk was a new set of dsm 450s. Retards.

Guess you got lucky. I don't see how buying less gas at a time has anything to do with gas prices though. You're still driving the same amount, gas will cost the same if you put 1 gallon or 12 gallons in your tank.

cause at damn near 5 bucks a gallon and working a mile away, I'd rather drop 5 bucks every few days rather than 30+ every couple weeks.

man I miss the days when 5 bucks got you half a tank.

Re: THANK THE LORD FOR GAS PRICES!!
 
the point was that if gas were cheaper i would have had a bit more in my tank. then the fucker woulda got away. hell, it wasnt 2 years ago it was 20 to fill the civic. almost double that now. Gay.

26mpg x 3.75/gal for 89. 3.85+ for premium, almost $4/gal in some places.

depends on how much driving i do, 3 gallons should last me 5 days

It's a good thing people dont think straight when they are committing a felony. I have a feeling that I know the prick who did it too. Called all the local pawn shops today and gave the serial number to the cd player. I hope he's that retarded. Also bought a nice new loud alarm and rounds for the AR-15. Death... :3 Flesh wound and prison... :y

you could always get like a ninja 250 or rebel 250 and get like 70mpg and $5 still fills the tank (but thats because they are only like 1.5gallon tanks)
and not look like a hobo and still save money
thats what i do as soon as gas hit $2.50 a gallon for premium a couple years back i bought a 1990 ninja 250 it gets 65-70mpg and is so slow nobody would dare steal it as it has to rev to about 10-12krpm just to keep up with traffic

I have a 74 CB450 that'll do those numbers.

I enjoy the exercise.

You're still a useless stockpile of flesh btw.

u make it sound like everyone here lives some place where it's a constant 75 degree's. Shyt over here in lancaster in the am it's about 50 degree's.......by 1 it's about 100....then when sun sets at around 730 the winds pick up an drop back down to 60......u ride a bike in this kind of inclimate weather.

dispocrx 05-13-2008 10:57 PM

Re: THANK THE LORD FOR GAS PRICES!!
 
actually i would have to say that Louisiana weather is pretty inclimate, ever been down here?? And yes, i ride year-round...but not to work lol...
plus if it was cool in the morning when im riding to work, and its coolin down by the time i leave it doesnt seem that bad....better than riding in 90* temps with like 65% humidity..

Yeah I went down to New Orleans and man it was humid as hell. I'm from Alabama, so figured I was use to it. Wrong. I would just be sitting there sweating for no damn reason, wouldn't even be hot.
