We have a new resident in the University Commons parking lot: the obscenely large tank of an SUV, enemy of all things organic, the one, the only, Hummer 2. I am shocked an appalled.
Apparently, this beast gets about 10 miles per gallon. Yes, you heard right. It also retails for just under $50,000. (Nearly $60,000 after car payments for 72 months.) Let’s compare this to my ‘95 Escort LX, shall we? I bought my car for $2,000, used. I’ve put less than $1,500 into it since I bought it, but let’s be generous. I still say it’s a bargain at $3,500. What’s more, I get 35 to 40 miles/gallon on the highway. It’s not much to look at, but it gets me around, and damned if it’s not economical.
Quick calculations: assuming 10,000 road miles a year and $1.55 a gallon for gas, I estimate I spend $442 a year on gas. The proud owner of the H2 outside my apartment will shell out $1,550 for the same mileage.
Gah, just needed to vent. Thanks for listening. =P
Bha ha ha, what a ho. Have you keyed it yet? (: damn thats fucking tempting one night. I think I’ll do in next time I get drunk.
Who are you to decide what is excess or not though?..
Hey MD, ltns..
Ven, man. Been a while. I tried to get back on Hotline at the beginning of the summer, but all my old bookmarks are dead. Do people still use it?
I was looking through some old e-mail, and I found Vampy’s Yahoo! address. I e-mailed her the other day, and she actually replied. Memmmmmmmmmmmoriiiiiiies.
yeah, there are still a thousand or so public servers on the trackers, and quite a few private servers still up. I will send you the addy and access account info later today to a server that a lot of the old boffo people still frequent. I will also tell ian “bbanzai” to give you the info to his server as well. :)
heh, actually I will need your email addy before I can send you the info, and you use your blog page addy instead of an email addy as your contact info. Can you send me your addy? teenwolftoo@hotmail.com
Great site guys… Keep up the good work
