Obviously, I'm a glutton for punishment as I still am perusing Craigslist for a daily driver. Came across this listing:

Let's see... Give me $3.5 large and then make my payment for almost another large ($855) per month, but I keep title?

Do I look like I just fell off a turnip truck?

On the news yesterday, they said that with the number of people dumping their SUVs and trucks, most people are taking big losses on their vehicle loans to buy econocars. On national average, it was said that the losses amounted to a 52 year payback period. This morning they said that the plumetting of oil prices may even get below $100/barrel due to the low impact that Gustav had. Everyone stockpiled for a big one, and now production will be back to normal within a short time.

I'm fixing to buy a whole lotta fuel---gotta say I'm jazzed about the prospects for oil pricing.

P/U gets about 10 mpg @60 under tow; dump truck gets no more than 7 loaded and towing; hercules (the '84 tractor trailer rig) will get close to 7, but he needs to make at least three trips...

Probably blow as much on this move as we did on the last one. Fuel---get it while it's CHEAP!!! smile
