The LS9 bug thats sweet. The LS9 is what powers the 2009 Corvette ZR-1. So maybe one day the LS9 bug will power the LS9 corvette.

The problem isnt were we are getting our oil. its the greddy OPEC owners. They are the ones making the prices way out of the extreme. I was talking to a guy who delievers gas. He said his boss is actually having a hard time dealing with the high prices. The tanker trucks have to fill up on diesel. Diesel is like $4.75. So $4.75 x 100gals = A hell alot of money just to fuel the truck to deliever the fuel. Now next thing I have been thinking alot about these gas prices. At this point I do not see fuel dropping more than $3 ever. By this point we have become so use to seeing prices in the high $3 range now peaking over $4. That once gas goes maybe down to $3.25 we are all going to think its a deal. The truth is gas should not be more that $2 a gallon. Besides that. This winter when people need to fill up their oil tanks to heat their homes. Its gonna cost rougly $1,200 to fill a 250 gallon tank of oil. Now thats 250 gallons and it wont last more than 2 months in the middle of the winter. So how are people suppose to heat their homes. If oil doesnt go down to like $2.50 this winter there is going to be a serious problem with people in the northeast and midwest. Fact being that last year oil companies made $40billion for the whole year and just this first quater of this year they made $36billion. Show the fact that they are just telling us they need to raise the prices when they dont. Theres no way that between late 2007 and early 2008 that we had like millions of new drivers. That caused that huge profit. Its because the profit is due to the fact oil companies have the prices triple of where they should be in reality. I could go on and on. These gas prices are killing me. It cost me like so much just to drive back and forth to work and school that by the end of the week like half my pay check is gone just to drive to work. To a consumer that hurts. And that is what is going to make our econmy come to a shutdown. Also this winter theres going to be alot of little children who are going to miss out on christmas. Because their parents would have spent up their yearly savings on buying gas for the mini van. No christmas means there most likely wont be a black friday this year.
