Vette(s): Silver 1974 Convertible - L82 4 speed Low miles (was only 8,900 when I bought it in March 2006) - Now 54K miles. Original owner bought it as an investment for son's college expenses. 2008 Jetstream Blue Convertible
I'm in Sweden this week for business.  Gas here is $8.78 a gallon (14.1 Swedish Kroner per liter).  Not happy with $4/gal at home, but yikes!  $9?  Ouch.
 
Our Swedish counterparts were in the US 2 weeks ago and when discussing taking a trip over the weekend they made the comment "gas here in the US is so cheap!"
 
Also found out that sales tax on a car here is 25%.  I don't think I'm moving here or importing a ZR1 any time soon



I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

Well to fight the high gas prices I am switching to these two toys in the next few weeks. I have a feeling I won't be dragging my kids on an inner tube behind the boat as much this summer.

Vette(s): 1978 Silver Anniversary L82 4spd (M21) Red Leather. Pace Car is in the hands of a new caretaker.
Fortunately the job I'm on now is only about 2-3 miles from the house. I make coffee now so I don't have to drive an extra 1 1/2 miles to get it.
Why are giving money to Brazil to drill in the Gulf and telling them we'll be their 1st customer? And we can't drill cause obama enjoys seeing us get get it up the back end by slimballs that hate us. I heard that Libya is looking for a new muslim leader. I think that we should give them ours.
That Honda bike is sweet. Has a nice vintage look to it.

Hey guys...I think everyone is being too hard on Barry.  He's working very hard for all of us.  In fact, our President is doing the work of two men...Abbott and Costello!

I want to know where all that Iraqi oil is?  Weren't we invading for the oil.....
Too much Kool Aid....   Barry just has to be replaced... by voting.

Tucson still has the lowest priced gas and you can drive your baby all year round.  Just have to keep the AC working which mine isn't right now...
