A Completely Unrelated Series of Thoughts.. part 4

What the hell is the Arena and how long has it been there? I just noticed it.

It's a record/time/score forum that you can compete with other fellow gamers. You can see how good you really are.
It was around for maybe 2 weeks a while ago & it was taken away due to lack of participation I believe. It was brought back within the last few days.

[TraderJake]

The question is... will it be utilized enough to warrant its existence?

I surely hope this forum is not as underutilized as it originally was.

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

Weird, it must have been a blind spot in my vision.

First competition gets underway May 1st.

I got a new car today, a 1990 Ford Taurus.  

[Cham Zord]

I'm trying to get my hands on an older model Chevrolet, like 1978 or something. I'm into those muscle cars.

[captain_nintendo]

 

Muscle cars were in the 60's and early 70's  
After 72, there was so much smog junk on the cars, that they had way less power and the designs went to shit.  IMO

I went and looked at an 87 Nissan 300zx yesterday.  They're asking $1700 for it, and I gotta say I wish I had the money to spend!  Nice car.  I made a lowball offer and he is supposed to let me know something today.  I doubt he'll take $1200 for it, but who knows.  I really need a smaller car that gets decent mileage as my 3/4ton 4x4 is killing us ($60 a week)...

[captain_nintendo]

Damn Chris   60 a week ?! ?

And I complain about 30 a week  :-[ Good thing it is only going to get worse once the prices hit 3.00 dollars

[Izret101]

$2.50(+) a gallon here.
I drop at least 20 a week into a freaking 4 cylinder.

[den68]

I'm glad I live close to work. but I'm still at about $30 a week.

might be time to get a motorcycle.

[captain_nintendo]

yep, 2.50 (+) a gallon here as well. 2.49 - 2.53 seems to be what regular unleaded is going for at the moment.

I cant remember, but there was some lame ass excuse as to why the prices were going up. I think it had to do with some production method or something like that  

It sure is a good thing those bastards line their pockets year round and cant cut us a freaking break.
If I ever get rid of my taurus now and buy a new vehicle, I may look into hybrid type cars.

[Speedy_NES]

Still pretty damn cheap compared to here....check for comparison:

The region where I'm at, prices are on the high side close to 7$ a gallon!  According to the comparison list from CNN, the gas prices here are likely the most expensive in the entire world!!!

[captain_nintendo]

Wow!

I guess the taxes on gasoline in your country are really high ?

I heard it is a possiblity that the U.S. may cut the taxes on gasoline for the summer? I highly doubt it!
