I never said it was your fault




gas prices suck, but people saying they are going to sell their cars... ugh
I suppose if you want to spend more money to feel like you are saving money that's a good route


If anything it's a good excuse to buy a Fidanza and Y-pipe

Present a college student ID to ride for free FTW.

I don't even need to use my gas card. It's been sitting on my desk for months.

I'll be getting a bike for the summer. It'll be like kindergarten all over again trying to learn how to ride the thing

that's a crock of shat.... i donated over $150 so far and all I got access to is some $40 debit card, and $20 worth of paypal certificates.

On top of that, the gas card I got was half of the amount that it said in the e-mail.

Gas prices in SoCal compared to everywhere else FTW!... filled up with Chevron Supreme with Techron this morning... $2.95/gallon
