:: BULLDOGS and BRONCOS ::

Please wait while I adjust my soap box…OK, gas prices have never really bothered my like they do other people–and yes I have a premium only car. I’ve always felt having a car is a HUGE privalage and responsibility. Too many people are taking their cars for granted; using them as an office, diner, and bathroom sink. We as Americans have come to use our cars with out even thinking about it. We get in and drive five blocks for milk (or smokes) and then complain to some poor gas station attendant about how expensive gas is. Not to mention they do it while drinking their $5.50 cup of moaca-loaca jumbo coffee. If you spend over $5 for 16oz of coffee, or 4-something for a pack of smokes, and still complain about getting a gallon of gasoline for $3.65 then maybe you should try and get out of your air conditioned, leather seated, cruse-controlled, over-priced charriot. Who knows walking a little more might burn off a little bid of that caffine, and would be good for your lungs too. If anybody ever hears me complain about gas prices, you all have permition to slap me. Who knows maybe the Amish are on to something… Naw, I’ll take getting to GR in 30 min over half a day anytime.

Oh, I’ll complain, mainly because I don’t drive a leather seated, over-priced chariot. I bought a four-cylinder car hoping that I’d save a little cash. Yeah, well, now that’s not really happening.

Granted, I’m not paying as much as those SUV-driving crazies, but you can argue that the increased demand (and higher prices) is caused by them. MAYBE they should be penalized for their outrageous consumption. An SUV tax? Would YOU be willing to pay that?
