geekstreak quotes "'The Stone Age did not end for lack of stone, and the Oil Age will end long before the world runs out of oil.' Ways to break the tyranny of oil are coming into view. Governments need to promote them."

Maybe this will sap the arab world of their funding for terrorism. This was an inevitable posts, of course. And in Soviet Central Asia...OSAMA HUNTS YOU!!!
Oil is here to stay as long as greedy and powerful corporations conspire to keep it that way.
I hate liberal scum like you. Go fuck yourself.
Did you even read the fucking comment I was replying to "dude"? I'll quote it since you're obviously stupid: "So no wars, just draconian lawsuits that continue the inequitable distribution of energy, food, and wealth." - INEQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION FUCKTARD, that socialist piece of trash tried to sneak in his little communist bullshit there and I called him on it. There is no inequitable distribution because wealth is distributed by how hard you fucking work. FUCK YOU FOR BEING A MORON! THE ONLY THING WORSE THAN THAT FUCKING LIBERAL SCUM IS YOU FOR BEING TOO FUCKING STUPID TO RECOGNIZE IT!! FUCK YOU MORON!!

$60000 to CONVERT a car to LPG? Who'd be nuts enough to do that? Maybe $50 is too low a figure, but it certainly does NOT cost more than $100, but again I'm converting the figures with the exchange rate...it costs an EQUIVALENT of $50 is what I meant (adjusting for cost of living). And LPG IS CHEAPER than petrol. PUHLEEASE...$60,000 and you tell ME I'm making things up. SHEESH

I have a buddy that will only buy cars with 100K because he "wants to make sure they could go that far" Maybe his jokes sound better when delivered in person. :-)
I do pretty much the same thing. I drive a 11 year old car with 180K, got 4 years ago for $2500 and probably put another 2K in repairs/maint over the years, putting my annual driving cost at about 1K/year. Pretty good. Compare this with a new car at 20K with 50% depr over the first 4 years.
And there's other savings too:
- The insurance is a whopping 450 annually; new car insurance would be at least double that.
- No finance costs. Even if you paid cash for the new car, you'd loose interest on the money you could have invested.
