93 Taurus. Fuking thing barley runs. I fill it every 2 weeks, 12 miles to work each way, occational beer run, throw in a casino spin, minus cab ride back. 28mpg?

Chicks love it. Not sure if the environmental folks like the transmission fliud spot in the driveway, but you know i care lots. I can hardly sleep.

At least it's American.

A tired old 1990 Jeep Cherokee. Made in Canada. fediddlein Canucks musta done something right, never had any car as long as I've had that 'ol Jeep.

174k on the odo.

6 miles to work. 30 to my womans house, 174 to my kids school.

I should note that I have suddenly become unwilling to buy gasoline from any station that has 'forieners' in attendance.

Same goes for convienience stores.

It's a knee-jerk reation; undoubtably rife with racisim and fear.

diddly it; it's just how I feel right now... but what's goin thru my mind is "Is this guy a terrorist supporter?? Who does he send money too?" as well as more unkind and very unprintable thoughts.

*sigh* I dunno... but untill I know for sure who's side 'ol Habib is on down at the mini-mart; my buisness goes eleswhere.

1992 Honda Prelude 2.0i 16V 4WS SE. 129K (miles). Averaging 31mpg (imperial) - 9 l/100km. If I ease off the gas pedal - 32-35 mpg. Normally, I pull in to refuel at ~350 miles with 60 liter tank.
