I have about a 15 mile commute to work 6 or 7 days a week, yea I work a lot, and with my gas friendly civic, it usually takes me a little over a week to eat a tank of gas. So I can’t wait til they start hiking the prices, couple that with raising cigarette prices and that’ll leave me a nice little somethin to eat off of the dollar menu at burger king. ---

I love seeing those morons with big ass suvs and pickups crying at the gas pumps with their $75 fill ups. I want to see that stupid fad die off quickly. If I see one more stupid soccer mom alone in her Suburban or Expedition yapping away on the cell phone as she cluelessly drives 5 under in the left lane I’m going to start shooting. Every time I see an suv rolled over or smashed into a wall I get a nice happy feeling inside. Maybe gas will get up to $5 a gallon and get all the goddam poseurs back into cars. You know they don’t go fourwheeling, tow big heavy things, or have 5 kids why the fuck do they have to buy those things? ---

I’d quit delivering, but I’d be for it. Yuppie bitch wants seating for five and all-wheel drive? She can buy a Subaru, or a Volvo. My favourite is when some yuppie is broken down on McKnight Rd, her SUV out of gas. ---

Here’s the part where you guys get to laugh at me for living in CA. The ‘premium brands’ (aka Chevron and such) are about $2.40 a gallon right now for top grade. Oh, and that’s only 91 ocatane. No 92 or 93 in Cali. -TJ ---
