gas prices, real jobs and a little maturity have turned a lot of people on this board who used to be carefree partiers into

responsible adults who aren't so carefree with the miles they put on their car. we're a far cry away from where we were 2 summers ago where i would have 20 or so people show up at my house on a wed night for a BBQ, and even more show up at my apartment in new brunswick. a lot of us have grown up, and a lot of us are hurt by gas prices that have doubled in that time.
