ok, now that valentines day is over, new topic. Tonight me and my girlfriend were in the mood for dunkin donuts. So we head over there and order 3 donuts and it comes to like almost 3 bucks. for 3 dahm donuts, i remember when they were 59 cents each, now they are 94 cents each. did the cost of making donuts actually go up enough to rationalize the price increase? granted it was like 5 years ago when they were 59 cents but still. I remember driving to DD and buying a dozen donuts for 3.99 and now a dozen are 6.99 WTF, stuff like that pisses me off. And as we were sitting in the tahoe, i was looking at the car wash across the street, now its 3.77+tax($4 total) for a drive through wash. Even there i used to take my caddy STS through for 2.82 plus tax($3 total). and obviously we all know the price of gas went up a crazy amount, but thinking of those changes it made me think back how i used to be able to get regular gas for my GTA for like 95 cents a gallon. OK now for the older members, i bet they can remember 50 cents a gallon and all like my GF's mom, but i still consider myself young(25) and i look at this as insane... i want the late 90's back, lol.

oh and on a completely random side note, Summit Racing changed their LT1/LS1 section back to TPI/LT1/LS1.. i think a while back someone mentioned they dropped the tpi parts but apparently it was just that one issue. and now they got the edelbrock and the DART LS1 heads listed.
