I hope gas prices hit 6 dollars a gallon. Burn SUVs, Burn :)

gas is just now creeping down, but i was paying 4.499 for weeks here in california.

I have yet to pay $50 to fill my tank. I do notice more people driving motorcycles, and a gal I work with just bought a Vespa. Bicycling and riding scooters are becoming trendy.

Although bush is great for guns, he's definitely not fiscally conservative. I won't even get into the liberties issue, as you can now be considered a terrorist if you are deem a threat to the stability of the government. Which means you can be detained indefinitely with no trial.

Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety Benjamin Franklin

He is not great for guns as he has said he would sign an AWB if it hit his desk. He is just not an active enemy. I do agree with you on the lack of fiscal conservatism.

I take it you disagree with these sentiments? I think you'll find, as stated above, today's Libertarian more closely resembles the traditional Republican. That's the type of person you'll find in a majority here IMO.

You haven't answered the question about whether you are a gun owner or not. Are you?

absolutely love it. get high 30's in the city and low 40's if i use cruise control on the highway.

Get the 4 door sedan with the power package and you won't be disappointed

I bought it brand new for $16K out the door, tax license dock fees etc all included. Never regretted it.

$78 last time I filled up. I'd love to find another mode of transportation, if I could stomach a loan and insurance on a trendy Vespa.

what kind of car do you drive?

I have a Kia Rio with a 8ish gallon tank, but it doesn't get nearly the gas mileage the yaris does.

Actually thats the whole reason i DON'T buy a motorcycle. Both of my cars are paid for LOL I don't want another payment! If i could afford to buy one outright i probably would.

I'm more or less kidding about the SUVs. Although I personally dislike them, I'm not as against them as I'm playing to be.

I'm all for the liberty to own an SUV... if you can afford it. But I'm kind of extreme on this whole liberties thing. I absolutely despise abortion, but I'm for a woman's right to govern her own body. Would I ever consider it? No way, and I'd do my best to talk someone out of it.

So it's not a matter of personal liberties. It's a matter of economically pushing people towards a better goal. Why did we stop make steel cars? Because plastic ones are safer? No. Because they're cheaper. Money speaks, and it'll speak even better the higher the gas prices.

This is like hitting a hornets nest with a stick
