1. Just the other day, I went to put gas in my fuel efficient Corolla |
|
The person before me had gotten $63.00 worth of gas. Ha! Ha! Ha!

2. That's what it costs to fill my tank |
|
The question is, how long will that last you?

5. Cost me about $48 right now |
|
and my truck has the "small" tank. It will last about 4 days if I'm not pulling trailers very much... Yeah it sucks.

for me each week and it is killing me. Once we get moved to the farm I won't use that much in a month if that. Until that time we are looking for a cheap, fuel efficient used car that will handle the country roads. Any suggestions? Damn.

what I told my husband. For some reason I can't explain he wants one of the Volkswagon Beetles. :shrug: I told him NO, it would not get me around to do the farm stuff but a Subaru would. Thanks.

10. Get him to test drive both |
|
out to the farm. I'm sure he will see the wisdom of buying the subaru. Especially on a rainy day.

but he does not come to the farm, it is mine and I do the work. But, a great idea. Thanks, we just started the real talk about this today, we had previously batted the idea around but now he is finally getting freaked. I will be thrilled not to have to drive this damn truck around all the time, I feel guilty even though I need it. It is a huge pain, loud and difficult to park. A nice little Subaru would be just so nice.

16. No, it is a clarinet. |

No words but you would be surprised how many people have asked me that! Maybe you would not be. Sorry, it is driving some people crazy apparently.

12. A sports car with a turbo engine was the best sports car decision |
|
I've ever made *knock on wood* I can go really fast when I want to, but these days I just short shift/skip even gears and squeeze 30+ mpg out of it.

13. Damn I miss those days.. |
|
I've had three turbo and one supercharged car, I loved every one of them. Traded the last one for a mini-van after the second kid. It was a sad day.
