My (traded in) PU, if I stood on the pedal I watched the gas gage drop. But took a Hemi once going through St. Louis. Oh how I hate the traffic in that city.
Motor Scooters Rentals or sales... Mopeds get great mileage.
It was a regular cab Hemi. It kicked my ass twice. My diesel has a dead spot in between gears that let him get a jump on me. A Tundra beat me too. That is a drag. My last diesel kicked butt. But this new twin turbo doesn't have the snap.
Now hook a chain to any of them and I can drag them down they road backwards.

Wow. This might just put St. George, Georgia on the map! Since the population there has gone senior-the most popular mode of transportation has been the golf cart for awhile now! Who'd a thunk a town that isn't even incorporated may be on the cutting edge of fuel efficient technology!

I have a new idea. What if we all went on strike. They are going to charge us for internet. So what if we all decided to spread the word over these forums that we should have an internet strike on a given date to convince the powers that be not to fuck with us.

Some of the internet radio stations shut down for three days over over regulation in their industry. I don't know how that panned out. Maybe someone on here knows. But I don't know if people addicted to myspace could comply (just kidding).
Yeah, I'd go for it. I need to do some neglected jobs around the house anyway.

Pay for the internet? I already pay for it. Thank-you-very-much! Boy the nerve!
See? I can get worked up over anything. Guess that's why I like debating forums.

Well it was a half baked idea.

Although bad, it's not "scary bad"...

The extra payment its for those who are considered "abusers" of the bandwidth the cable companies set...

I read where it's a certain amount of space that people would get charged for, and it would take like 3,000 web pages to get charged $1...

So it's the ones that do things like download movies off of the net that would end up paying...

Not denying it...

Just saying that if anything, it could be a PRELUDE to the sky falling, but it is NOT the sky falling...

Hey great. We had a few who used them in my old town of Bicknell, IN. The local food/hardware store had these battery powered scooters for $795.00 I almost bought one before moving. But here in Topeka no thanks. One would be dead in days.
It seems the economy crunch hasn't hit here yet.
