EY3BA11 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 These damn oil companys litterally have you by the balls and have been doing it for years.. the best analogy i have heard yet.. They squeeeeeeze your nuts and make you scream bloody murder and let of just enough so that any sign of relief is taken well then they just SQUEEEEZE harder the next time and let of a tiny bit.. You think gas in needles is bad.. Try Vidal Junction 95 south CA side bout 45min south of needles... THATS a bad place to need gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randog Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 what year z do you have randy? i have a 74 260 its apart now have most of the parts just not the room or all the knowlege to get it back on the road you know this dune thing takes most of the time and $$$ I like the older Z's too. But I cheated last year and got a new 06'. These damn oil companys litterally have you by the balls and have been doing it for years.. the best analogy i have heard yet.. They squeeeeeeze your nuts and make you scream bloody murder and let of just enough so that any sign of relief is taken well then they just SQUEEEEZE harder the next time and let of a tiny bit.. No doubt Nick, That's one way to look at it. I heard last year was their most profitable year. And all we got were swoolen sacks. Greed!

EY3BA11 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 My wife wanted one of those z's so i had to go test drive one for her.. 100mph down warm springs and the sales lady bout pissed herself Then the wife went on a test drive and the sales lady told my wife your husband sure knows how to drive.. LOL I wanted to drive the 5/6 speed cant remember which and the wife wanted to drive an auto.. Fast fun cars... just cant see myself in one.. i would end up wrapped around a telephone pole in no time with that much speed under me on the street. The wife bought a titan instead..

ash Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Yeah they have us by the ballz. Why? Because we are dependent on fossil fuels. Everyone out there knows there are alternative fuels, but we also know that the OPECers won't ever let this happen. The Government is a BUSINESS and don't ever think otherwise. They will not be happy until we have stabalized at $3.50-$4.00 a gallon. When I was in China, the price of fuel was, and this is no chit, $5.00 a gallon. This is why China is over run with scooters. Now, check this site out http://money.cnn.com/pf/features/lists/glo...ices/price.html and look at the last one on the list. You are reading it right... 0.14 a gallon. We (USA) will never see gas prices under $2.00 a gallon EVER again. As I see it, we are at the mercy of the oil companies. I say we (USA) tell those coutries that supply us with oil, "Listen here abdulah, we are going to give you XX amount of dollars per barrel of oil." If that price doesn't go over, then we move on to the next oil producing country. Once the word gets out that we are not backing down, some country will say, yeah we'll give you oil at that price. It's sad to know that gas companies could charge us $1.00 a gallon and still make a buttload of money. I'm going to stop right now cause this is going to get ugly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
