DAMN GAS

Thanks for the tips, Gamemaster.

Though, I disagree with that window tip because it's not accurate. It's true that opening your windows will very mildly affect your aerodynamics, but your Air Conditioning will eat way, way more than opening your windows will at most speeds. It was proved on the TV show "Mythbusters." On higher speeds though, on the highway, it sort of turns around though, and then the windows become a problem. But if you drive a car and not an SUV/Van/Truck/Hummer/Ridiculous vehicle, it turns around at a much higher speed.

So you should never have your AC on unless a woman is in the car. (What's up with their wacky sense of temperature, anyways.)

Maybe egotistical car companies who think fuel efficient cars aren't worth it (same with everyday people) are waking up to the fact that the Europeans and Japanese are infinitely smarter then us.

Why didn't we see that people in Europe and whatnot pay over $6 a gallon and drive cars that aren't hellbent on horsepower but more about saving money.

Oh well, with Rappers still around, eveyrone wants big cars...idiots

Yeah, I can't wait until i can afford a hybrid...I'll buy one in a second. Until then I'll be paying the predicted $3.50-$4.00 per gallon in the northeast in the coming months... *cries*

Isn't it great. ^__^

I've learned more on that show than any other show. (Excluding Bill Nye the Science Guy and The Magic School Bus.)

No one knows more or teaches more than Bill Nye, you fool!!! If the Mythbusters and Bill Nye were trapped in a cage with only a bag of Doritos for sustenance, Bill Nye would be the one to emerge alive, and with no blood on his clothes as he would have brewed Oxyclean from the random chemicals present in the earth's atmosphere.

Do not ever insult Bill Nye in such a way ever again, for he knows all and sees all. So when his show is on, you will come hither and give heed.

I have never been so amused by anything Strangler has ever said as I am by what he said just now.

I approve.

This just in: the most expensive I've ever seen was 116.9.

And I saw it today while driving at 12:31:05 pm. Gah. That's the scariest number I've ever seen.
