    ....it's quietly sneaking up on us.....gas $$ is up, home prices keep sliding down, car sales are down, spending is down in general....down down down....GOOD LORD....OH THE HUMANITY!!! :eek:

    We can thank ole Dubya for helping put our economy in the tank. Thanks Dubya...this fish slap is for you :fish: and this drink is for me :drink:. You bastage! Some countries don't even want our greenbacks anymore!

    4 dollar gas is already here, and 5 dollar gas is just around the corner with the value of our dollar sliding down like Reggie's property value after his BBQ is over with.......man, oh man...that Prius is starting to look less ugly and more attractive each day! :blah: :smash:

    Ohhhh, now you've done it...

    Do you start threads like this just so you end up with something that needs moderating?

    I cant really bitch about the price of gas, I dont go anywhere but work, and my boss pays for that. Though I am currently driving 3-4 hrs a day into jersey from east of Philly, dont get me started about city driving though, and all the idiots that cant freakin read traffic signs until they got trffic to a crawl on I95 at 2:30 in the afternoon. AYE YAE YAE!!!, Sorry D. I needed to vent that frustration...... :focus:

    Years of deficit spending on state and national levels, high personal credit card debt, low levels of personal saving, sub-prime preditory lending and "upside down" loan structures, loss of jobs, Wall Street derivitave crooks out of control,aging population bubble, future social security insolvency, decline in real wages, unwise international interventions (the war), massive balance of trade money draining, government fraud/waste ineptitude and corruption, the coming inflationary backlash, what else are the elements of our financial MELTDOWN????



    Right now our approaching national bankruptcy "is slouching toward Bethlehem to be born."

    Actual rate of unemployment is 3 times higher than gov. numbers admit!

    Expect the White House liar team to deny we're in recession a thousand times despite contrary evidence.

    Jeez guys I come here to be cheered up. Life's a b--ch then you die.... but seriously spring is here, I can finally ride without wading through snow so life is good. OK gas is a bit expensive but hey it could be worse, probably will be in fact, but my daffies are up so I'm happy.

    Forget the price of gas, have you seen the price of ammo?

    im just happy riding season is almost here. at almost $4 a gal. the bike will be out alot this year. the way the price of gas is going mybe more people will get into the bike craze. by the way has anyone seen the recent review of the 2008 yamaha r6 it is only rated at 35 mpg from the factory. i really dont consider that all that good considering my car basiclly gets that.

    I just re-read that, Stuka. Maybe it's "quietly sneaking up" on you, but I feel like it's kicked down the front door and is beating me over the head...

    "There is no such thing as paranoia if they really are out to get you". :spy: :evil:

    I sleep much better at night knowing that the voices will protect me. :smile:

    Frighteningly enough, part of what prompted me to finally get the VFR, besides Father Time laughing at me, was a gut feeling that life as we have known it is going to change for the worse very soon. It could just be age talking here, but it feels like more than that. Putting that grim thought aside, as a friend of mine used to say;

    "There's a lot of unhappiness in the world. Let's just be glad none of it's here!"

    I must say. I'm glad I got the vfr a year ago. 45mpg is way better than the 15 i get in my truck. Plus driving to visit the gf 20 miles each way a few times a week. It's about $3.65 (87 oct.) or more here. That money I save on gas, will allow me to get the truck out for a couple camping trips over the summer. That'll be fun, filling up a 40 gal tank. I just hope someone will find a way to grab the gas kings by the balls like they have some of us, and maybe they'll drop prices a bit...

    Alright...I got something to say about all this. I'm here in Germany where the Euro keeps getting strnger and the dollar keeps getting wealer, and our COLA (cost of living allowance) keeps declining. In Germany gas is a little over 1.30 Euro/liter, which equates to $2.00 per liter, now considering that there are ALMOST but not quite 4 liters per gallon, that's almost $8.00/gallon. The poor guys in the U.K. have it worse, they get less COLA than we do, and the pound is stronger than the Euro, if they buy off of the economy they are paying almost $9.00/gallon. Yeah, it sucks paying almost $3.50/gallon, when a mere 10 years ago it was right around $1.00/gallin, but again what are we gonna do? I enjoy driving, and riding my motorcycle even more. I try to consolodate my trips as much as possible, and it helps. Ok, now another question...how many of you gulp down youe spendy lattes, espresso's and such that are over $3.00 per drink? I'm the 1 guy from Seattle that doesn't drink coffee, AT ALL!!! My mom drives me nuts because she complains about the price of gas, buy she spends more in coffee than she does in gas. To me that's flawed logic. Ok I'm done now, and quitely returning to my corner.....
