Yea no fucking kidding lurch. Where are these beautiful roads in which you speak of? You can pay $5 all you want dorian. I got better shit to spend my money on. It isnt like I'm joyriding around town every day of the week. I mainly just drive to work (10 miles), and to grab the occasional bite (2miles). Bicycles wouldn't do me no good either. I used to work 20 miles away, my car got impounded, and I tried doing the old bicycle to work gig. I don't have time to be arsed to do such a thing. And I sure the hell don't plan on applying at the local 7-11, just so I can work a hop skip and a jump away. Automobiles are a magnificent invention. Without them, where the fuck would we be? The only problem is the way in which we fuel them. If you want to fix the loose chain on your huffy every 5 miles, then be my guest.

yeah, is anyone else excited for the massive economic collapse that is going to happen? it'll be like one of them post-apocalyptic movies pretty soon. we'll all be wearing REAL bullet belts and driving old motorcycles around and have long dirty hair and rob people. then end up in an epic battle with a one-eyed george bush. /sarcasm

I welcome the full depletion of all oil. I really do. THn we can all have electric run cars or solar power vehicles. I'm sure the gov't will somehow tax the use of the sun as energy though.

) what I was going to say. I'm not upset about prices going up; I hope it inspires more people to buy hybrids and car companies to come up with even more... much more... fuel efficient cars. We're not in the market for a car right now, but next time we buy one, I'd love to get a hybrid. My mother has been driving a Prius for years and absolutely loves it (she is obsessively eco-friendly). |

when a $12k civic gets 35 mpg and the $20k civic hybrid gets 50mpg, the only point in buying a hybrid is to show solidarity as a greenie. when they get cheaper, i'm sure more people will buy them.
personally, i'm waiting for the hydrogen car.  http://www.edmunds.com/advice/specia...5/article.html go honda.
