  1. Re:Good riddance! on The SUV Is Dethroned · · Score: 0, Troll

    Hmm, funny I'm in a contract to pay for the truck, I probably wouldn't care as much if I wasn't upside down, but when I bought it gas was much cheaper and I carpooled. I guess stuff like contracts don't matter in your world though.

    And I don't get the house thing, I don't own a house and live 100 yards from a bus stop and I own a second car that gets 35 MPG. But I'm glad you find other peoples financial distresses fun. Like I said, don't say I didn't honk.

    Big Wet Sloppy Kisses Very original. XOXOXO

    Wow, your moniker really fits your personality.

    Even at $10 a gallon, I'll still enjoy driving my 6K lb vehicle into your latte sipping, bike riding, Mac toting, whining, holier than thou self. And hey, when you are flat on the road, with your (now) useless body don't say I didn't warn you with my horn.

    Kisses.

    Interesting to see you post that. I've speculated about a 'Manhattan Project' type energy policy for a few years now. Basically just seeing what would happen if we put that high of a priority on energy and contributed the funds. I'm betting we would take the power out of OPEC quickly. However I think there are too many monied interests in the US to let this happen.

    Hehe, funny you say that. My fiancee drives it now since I work so far away.

    I picked it because it rides well, can tow stuff, was my last chance to own a V-8 before gas cancels it out and wasn't the same Tundra, Titan, F-150, you name it and I fit in it well (tall). Mine doesn't really look like most of them with the plastic cladding and lift stuff. To tell you the truth I had never seen one before finding it on the lot.

    I think most Av drivers are guys but I could be wrong. There's a big fan base of modders and Av tweakers here:

    When is the last time an entertainer went out of their way to target massive ad campaigns to the entire nation in an attempt to make every last citizen buy their drugs because they must have something wrong with them after listing every symptom known to man?
