I owned two "land barges". A 1988 and a 1992 and they were far better on mileage than many other cars I've owned, at least 24 to 25 mpg on the road. In town not horrible maybe 16 mph. I can hear you all now saying you wouldn't be caught dead driving an "old mans car". Would you turn down free ones? Both were my dads cars and he gave me the 1988 after winning $25,000 in the Florida pick four in 1991 and I helped him pick out the 1992. I inherited the 92.

The only problem a had driving the "land barges" was that I had this compelling urge all the time to wear a "sports car hat" hike my pants up around my nipples , wear white shoes and and a white belt to match.

In my humble opinion I think oil has been oversold in the investment markets and we will see prices tumble by this fall at the latest. I predict $3.00 to $3.25 per gallon. I hope the hedge fund managers driving this thing up drown in their oil. Saudi Arabia is meeting this week to discuss the problem and they have said that oil is overpriced. All you have to have is for Saudi Arabia to increase production and for the dollar to go up in value along with decreased demand and it will be the perfect storm for the oil market to drop.

In the mean time I would like to see this country start a project on the scope of the "Manhattan Project" during World War 2 to develop the atom bomb, to further develop the hydrgen cell and mass produce hydrogen and get it to the fuel stations.

Good thread guys.
