Fuddruckers On Rt 22
Finally made it to Fuddrucker's last Tuesday. Nice little 'Cruise Night', saw a few new cars I don't normally see down my way, and let a BMW be my Cop finder on the way home

I've just cut back. I like showing my hobby cars, I like driving my hobby cars, but with gasoline at $2.21/gal, and climbing, it's all I can do to afford the gasoline I need to get to work

And by the looks of things, half of the rest of the world won't notice how high gasoline prices have gotten, until we reach the magic level of $10.00/gal, and don't think that can't happen. Heck, when gasoline was 22.9-24.9/gal on Rt 22 in the early 70's, no one then thought gasoline could get over $1.00/gal

Don't get me started on gas prices. They are only out to make a buck. As if they didn't already have billions of dollars already. Pretty soon you are going to have to start picking jobs in accordance with how much gas you can pay for

Tooooooooooooo late! I'm already working mostly for gasoline money to get to work, so I can earn more money to buy more gasoline, just to get to work

So, just how much will gasoline have to cost before it affects everyone else?

I've spent much more time driving to other members houses for parts than attending meetings. The milage and gas costs more for that, so meetings are sparse until my TA is up and running (and my parents / inlaws stop invading!).
