News item on local tv had a short about the high gas prices. Interviewed a lady complaining that she had just put $78 worth of gas in her vehicle. Yup, an SUV. At first I figured she might have some reason for the complaint until she identified it as a 2005 Excursion. That means she had to have known the prices were going way up before she ever bought the dinosaur.

I know the number one selling cop car in Canada is still the CV, followed very closely by the impala. Snow...

The CV is about all that the cops here in southeast Georgia use. Very rare to see a cop driving something else unless it is for a specific purpose - such as a pickup truck for animal control or a 4X4 for going to the more remote areas - or similar.

So, you deny that Ford is still making Excursions? What an absolutely ridiculous thing to do. See for yourself: http://www.fordvehicles.com/suvs/excursion/ Like I said, you're wrong, as usual.

The sad thing is you're too damned stupid to learn you're not any good at it.

Tell the woman I said Tango Sierra, she wanted that land yacht, so now she can pay the price. I have no sympathy for her.

Reminds me of an ex-girlfriend who used to complain about the property taxes we must pay on vehicles. She stated property taxes were unfair, as it kept her from buying a Lexus. I told her that if property taxes were all that was keeping her from purchasing a Lexus, she really needed to reconsider what type of vehicle she aspired to drive. Strangely (and fortunately) the relationship ended that night. :-D Reminds me of a news story several months ago, one of those routine periodic tallies of customer satisfaction with various vehicles. Therein it was revealed that Hummer H2 owners were surprised and displeased at (among other things) their gas mileage. The displeased part is understandable, but being surprised seems to imply that they expected something else. Perhaps they thought that somewhere in the owner's manual was an asterisk they could apply to the laws of physics. --Joe > News item on local tv had a short about the high gas prices. > Interviewed a lady complaining that she had just put $78 worth of gas [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Harry K Yup, I have to laugh at a coworker who complains loudly about how expensive gas is, and just bought a large 4-wheel-drive pickup a few months ago to use only as a long-distance commuter. -Dave I run two jeeps, and the last thing I do is complain about gas prices, I chose to drive these a couple years back, sure I could have bought some sort of car but these fit into the life style better, offered more secure winter travel (when used correctly) and allowed for some one of a kind vacations. Since they are both bought and paid for I have no problem spending the money to fill them, I figure the gas cost is of set by the ease of repairs (90% done by myself), low cost of parts and more so the lack of a 15 to 20k (or more) of car payments... Not saying that if gas continues to climb I wont look at getting something else, but since I car pool and drive once every month with 3 other guys I can't go smaller on interior space.
