RiceEatingZR1 · 08-17-2005

so how many of you are not Driving around town as much now because of Gas Prices in your area? I know that out here in Aurora, IL gas is over 3 bucks a gallon. but im doing what I can not to let it spoil my Fun. this includes just sitting in the car in the garage day dreaming at times... lol

Not quite to $3 here yet, but I'm sure it's coming. It hasn't spoiled my fun yet. It's just too tempting to get out and enjoy the car!!

I had a lot of road trips this month, and my gas bill is unbelievable! I'm driving as little as possible now. I take a commuter train to work, and the train station is only 4 miles from my house. Other than that and trips to the liquor store, I'm laying low.

The prices irritate me, but to toss $20 in the tank brings me a ton of enjoyment and stress relief. Cheaper than therapy!

You got that right!!

The price of gas will never stop me from driving the ZR-1 or any Vette

Sometimes you have to be ready to pay to play

Very true $20 Cheaper than therapy and you do have to pay to play! I know that my ZR1 is a big time stress reliever.

I don't drive my Suburban quite as much considering it cost around $90.00

for a complete fill up. Our ZR-1's get decent mileage, but even if they didn't, I'd still would not think twice about taking it out based on gas prices.

Like others have said, it is too much fun not to drive.

WB9MCW · 08-20-2005

I just figure it cost one fifth as much as when I fill this baby up! Then it is easy 4 me to justify!!! LOLOL

Now when I want to go real cheepo this is what I choose!!!

I THINK I'M GOIN CHEEPO 2 DAY!!!
