I live out in the country kind of, so I try to lump a bunch of errands together befoer I leave the house, or make sure to do stuff BEFORE I get back home from work...

otherwise, I just do what I normally did before.. doesn't effect me much. or is it affect?? LOL

anyways... IF I need it, I'm still gonna buy it anyways, so why worry about things I cannot change?:shruggs :cheers

I do see a TON of cheap big trucks tho...

Re: What are y'all doing about expensive gas?
 
It's killing me down here.. I rarely leave the house anymore. We only have 2 good spots to ride at and each one is like 40 miles away. Thats 80 miles round trip. Thats wayyyy too much gas for me to spend to go ride.

I need to get a Hybrid Civic or some shit with a single bike trailer :banghead

Re: What are y'all doing about expensive gas?
 
I've thought about trading my truck in for somthing more gas efficient. Mine's only a 6 cylinder but it still cost me 55 bucks to fill. I went through a whole tank last night to ride in west palm.

nags 07-04-2008 03:03 PM

Re: What are y'all doing about expensive gas?
 
Mine's a 6 too but it's Supercharged and because of that I have to use premium. Costs me at least 80 to fill up everytime and my tank isn't even that big.

That's exactly the same as me bro..... that is true now that you put it that way.....
I got to drive 45 min to the KC superlot to ride on the weekends only now, and then ride a small, bumpy and hilly lot by myself that's about 12 miles away from home during the week.

I just can't drive the 45 miles a bunch like everyone wants me too anymore, myself included. I guess your'e right....:banghead

nags 07-04-2008 03:35 PM

Re: What are y'all doing about expensive gas?
 
Yep. And then people bitch at me for not coming out to ride :banghead

Re: What are y'all doing about expensive gas?
 
I wouldn't say my way of life has change too much yet due to gas prices. Whats changed my life is loosing my 2nd job, I didn't relize how much I relyed on that.

nags 07-04-2008 03:44 PM

Re: What are y'all doing about expensive gas?
 
What killed mine was losing my one and only good paying job. That was 3 months ago and haven't found shit.

If I lost my main job then I would be screwed. There's no way I could afford my debt.

Re: What are y'all doing about expensive gas?
 
Yea, I can't. Thats the problem. I've been selling everything.

nags you should get a trailer for your f4i to tow it with your 929 or your 954 ....

and quit saying you can't ride up here cause it's too far , you know tony will tow you up here any time you want

apfire26 07-04-2008 04:14 PM

Re: What are y'all doing about expensive gas?
 
Dude, a 929 hauling an f4i to the spot would be killer.

It costs me money to get to Tonys house too. He's 20 minutes away.

And then when I ride with Tony he pays for gas which is cool and all.. But then I have to pay for his food. Which is only fair... but I can't afford that.

I have a Nissan Titan with a 5.6L. 93 bucks to fill it. Lasts me about a week. I installed a K&N and a Tornado Air and it helps a little bit But for the most part I just dont drive it anywhere unless I have to. WHen I do go somewhere I map it out before I leave and try to do everything in one trip.

I would rather have a 954 than a man ass:LOL

Seriously though.

For real.

nags 07-04-2008 06:23 PM

Re: What are y'all doing about expensive gas?
 
I owe too much on the 954 to make it worth it to sell.

Want to buy a 929?

i stay at my grandmothers house during the week, so i can catch a ride with my boss in the company truck. im trying to pick up a scooter, so i can commute back and forth to training because thats really the only place i need to go.

my 72 monte carlo has just been sitting because i cant afford to drive it.
