Re: Idiot!



I run two jeeps, and the last thing I do is complain about gas prices, I
chose to drive these a couple years back, sure I could have bought some sort
of car but these fit into the life style better, offered more secure winter
travel (when used correctly) and allowed for some one of a kind vacations.

Since they are both bought and paid for I have no problem spending the money
to fill them, I figure the gas cost is of set by the ease of repairs (90%
done by myself), low cost of parts and more so the lack of a 15 to 20k (or
more) of car payments...

Not saying that if gas continues to climb I wont look at getting something
else, but since I car pool and drive once every month with 3 other guys I
can't go smaller on interior space.
