Especially if you keep in mind the salaries here, it's a bloody rip off.


When I was in Egypt the taxi driver filled the car up for 5$


Bloody oil rich countries :groan:

3.61 I am getting raped. how about in Md?


Answering Andy

I filled the tank up in PA on Friday and it was $3.75 a gallon. Surprised you lot are paying less because Chicago usually gets hit hard with gas prices.

AFAIK, when Bush invaded Iraq a barrel was around 30-ish $, and he said it would fall to 25.


Now it's at 70

Thing is with a city like Chicago it actually makes more sense not to have a car.

I'd give my left hand for it.

You might not be able to handle a car like that with only one hand. You cant even handle one with two.

Sure I can.


At least I can handle a stick unlike 99% of Americans

Well we can thank China. Its one thing to have a country with 30 million people industialize and it's another when the country has a billion people working on super sub wages.

Yeah, exactly. My cousin lives on Lake Michigan, a few blocks away from Wrigley Field, and she just takes the El downtown everyday.

When I was there in June I-94 coming out of downtown was packed...even at 12:30 in the morning on a Saturday. Not to mention the toll booths around O'hare...that crap is just fvcking dumb.

That number is very skewed Zlatan. Especially when this country is crazy for racing video games.

Wel, ik geef toe dat ik er de helft van de tijd over ga gewoon om Andy te koeioneren. Maar langs de andere kant vind ik het ronduit onuitstaanbaar hoe hij zichzelf tot slachtoffer en tot morele authoriteit maakt. Nooit eerder heb ik zo'n arrogantie gezien.

Ik negeer dat soort dingen liever. Het niet negeren is slecht voor m'n bloeddruk :redface:

That's hardly middle aged.

About petrol prices; they were just raised to €1,60 per liter here in Holland (that's US$7.58 per gallon) and my parents are now officially looking if it's worth it to sell the car. Once again the poor have to give in to the suffocating pressure of capitalism

Well, if you buy an SL or vanquish send me one of the rims, I'll sell it and buy a car


What do you do in life btw Paul, besides writing books (as in job )
