Default $4 a gallon, will you park it?

4 bucks a gallon is realistic in my book, and everyones spazzing out.

but gas can hit 5$ a gallon and im still going to DD my T/A.

So my question to you all is, will you buy a better mpg car? or say screw it and DD anyways?

I'll drive it untill I can't afford to drive it anymore. My T/A gets about the same MPGs as my truck.

No reason to park it. It's Paid for and by the time you figure having to make another car payment, upkeep and added insurance where are you saving anything. False economy in my book.

This is why I bought a Honda Accord last summer. Better mileage and keeps the miles off the BCoD.

Well Ill probably DD mine until all the cam and spray is on and all the comestic **** is done. Probably be around Feb when all thats done, then I wont be needing to pour money into the Z so Ill get a DD or a new Ninja 250 to learn on plus it gets liek 70mpg.

I dont kow If I could deal with driving something slow everyday though, I'd probably end up getting tired of the beater being to slow and saying **** it and park it and then its be pointless haha

No bullshit, i would have thoughts of quiting my job with the state and go to work at the wal-mart DC with my wife that is right about 3 miles from us, i would seriously ride my 2007 Big Bear 4 wheeler to work. I wouldn't give a **** after that, i would drive my camaro to meets and thats it, maybe to get food/necessities.

GO YAMAHA!
