Like it says, took the new stang to get gas and freaking $52.64 for a tank of 91 becasue california doesn't have 93 octane. Bastards. Sorry had to vent and only you guys would understand.

I hear you man. In MD, they are also talking about a 72% increase in utility costs. What is going on with the world? My salary did not go up 72% last year, did your's??

I am thinking of voting independent next election if there's a worthy candidate. Bush has done whatever he wants. I believed in him during 911, I guess I was a sucker. That's what I get for believing that a rich man is honest.
