Gas Prices....?
As we all face this new-found pain at the pumps, who here is changing their plans significantly for the future? Considering forgoing a performance car as a daily driver to "putt around in a shitty tree-hugger car" and then saving the money towards a weekend warrior?

After a $50+ fillup of my ING CAVALIER, I have officially had it. Forget PACER, ERASE, or any other dumb ing task force that they implement to stop street racing. We have a much more powerful foe to contend with: OPEC.

A lot of people say "Bush invaded Iraq for Oil". Sure thing ***-bread.... If that's the case, how come the days of a $20 fillup are long gone? (ahh.. I remember my G2-days). I hope those anti-war bitches pipe up to come up with an answer as to why I'm paying out my *** in this so-called "free world" for the very chemical which DRIVES OUR ECONOMY!?

I won't buy a smart. there's that new "sport" known as Smart-tipping that people seem to get a kick out of. Dumbass Mercedes decided it was neccessary to POWDERCOAT the exposed structure so that the car is either half-*** repaired or written off.

$70/fill up was what it cost last season. That will be more like $85+ now And I will be LUCKY to get 375-400km out of that. Hooray.

just buy an echo. even base model 4 banger civics are very good.

the all-new accord hybrid is exceptional from what i've heard, but kinds pricey ($29K?). it also hauls ***.

I honestly think that buying a tree huggin car is a good idea in a way, will let me save on gas, and have a crazy car I can just rip in, I'd consider it

To fill up my sunfire its like $45

To fill up my monte carlo... its like $65
