Another thing.. Irishgrl, you said your car gives 15mpg.. I mean no-one could possibly afford to drive that here. No way. That car would be worthless because no-one would ever want it. People here puff out their cheeks at 30mpg because it's considered uneconomical. This is because our fuel is much more expensive than yours. Or do you think that we're making a fuss about nothing?

Agreed. I need to get a new car, the only reason I keep it is because its a 4-wheel drive, which I need in the winter.

No, because you're all sharing, oh excuse me, WE'RE all sharing one brain as some big Ledge gang. Did you not get the memo?

You are all making a lot of sense, out of something that was common sense to begin with. So I'm thinking it may be a lost cause

This thread is giving me gas. Luckily MINE is free
