Scooter and drag race do not belong in the same sentence. Please edit your last post.

Have you ever driven a military one? My scooter seems like a rocket ship by comparison.  ;D

Yeah, but they're geared that way for a reason. You could probably drive one up a wall. Hell, you could probably use one to pull up a live redwood by the roots, a feature that probably also appeals to the pro-smokestack crowd.

Yep, I had no problem towing a trailer up a nasty 45+ degree offroad incline. Well, no vehicle related problems, I couldn't SEE anything other than sky.

You wouldn't want a military hummer for anything other than off-roading. My scooter would soundly thromp one in a drag race. Slowest most ponderous thing I have ever driven.

You may win, but when I reach the finish line and drive over your scooter, you'll never beat me with that scooter again. ;D

So you've seen our new bumper stickers and logo then?

in ways that you later wish you hadn’t

Yeah, but it was on a pink H3, so you can imagine my confusion.

Yey, fuel has now gone above $1.30 per litre in Australia. Good thing I drive a Corolla.

This sucks.
Now in a tasty new flavour.

It's down to $2.89 a gallon here. That's about where it was before Katrina, I think. I really don't usually pay any attention to gas prices, I just buy gas when I need it. $3+ a gallon got my attention though.

In any case it went up for Labor Day weekend and then came back down. Too quick for supply interuptions to have played any part at all. Price gouging. I thought Bush said that wouldn't be tolerated. Oh yeah, that doesn't apply to oil companies. What was I thinking?

Damn good thing I didn't need to fill the tank on either car over the weekend.  I could have lost $6.
