Hey You! Yeah, you! Take a look at this picture of Louisiana roughnecks drilling for oil in the gulf.
But Al Gore and his buddies in congress don’t want those guys to work they would rather you send your money over to these guys
Who would you rather pay your money to?
Drill Here! Drill Now!
Call your congressman and make your voice heard . (202)224-3121
Howdy yall as some of you know I used to have a 2003 Honda Insight
It was the Caddilac of hybrids as john travolta once said Got 70 mpg+ and it actually did to however it was not near as green as I was hoping.
Hybrids have a price premium and unless you can afford $21k you may be better off buying something a little less expensive sure you will save gas but you will hemmorage money in other places.
I financed the $21k over 6 years at a pretty decent rate of 7% so my monthly payment was $350. Due to the safety features and such my insurance was pretty cheap as well Full coverage out the woo for $120 a month
and here is the best part all the gas I was saving with the 110 mile commute. Sure it took a slightly more expensive oil then a regular car but I am “Cutting my fuel bill in half” so a $30 a month oil change isnt that bad is it?
Well now that I have grown up and am filing bankruptcy because of too much car debt. I bought a Green (color) 1994 Ford escort for the princley sum of $700 cash it gets about 30 mpg and only has liability insurance at $99/6 months and uses regular ole 5w30 that I can get with a filter for about $20
So here is the head to head comparison
The Insight first and the Ford second Gas is 3.39/ gallon as of this morning and the commute is 110 miles round trip. FIGHT
2003 Honda Insight uses 1.57 gallons of gasoline to drive 110 miles. @ 3.39 = 5.32
1993 Ford Escort uses 3.66 gallons of gasoline to drive 110 miles @ 3.39 = 12.41
Hoever all the other incidental charges add up quick
Other costs with the insight were 11.50/ day car payment 3.94/day insurance and .98/day oil so the over all cost of commuting is 21.74
Other costs with the Escort were 0/day carpayment .54/day insurance and .65/day oil bringing the over all cost of commuting to 13.6
So there ya have it folks the side by side comparison between 2 simalarly sized cars I save 8.14/day by driving a paid for compact car instead of some flashy hybrid. Incase you are wondering that is a savings of $2971.10 a year or 2 free months of medications from the post yesterday.
Ok so y’ll have red about me bitching about the state or lack there of of my prescription coverage. Lets just break down what other harmful substances that would buy every month.
if I was feeling self didtructive
I could snort 15 grams of coccane a month (using the DEA’s 2005 street price of 104 a gram)
or Smoke 300 joints if they were bought individually with 1 gram in each joint at ($5 each) or 10 oz out of a pipe (at $150 a oz)
or Drink 501 40’s (@ 2.99 a 40 oz)
or Smoke 15600 cigarettes (@ 18.99 a carton)
or eat 1500 double cheeseburgers (@ $1 each)
Or had some free money
Burn 441 gallons of gasoline (@ 3.40) that would be driving 8 thousand miles in the truck or 13230 in the car
Buy a transmission
Buy 2 of my cheap cars ( 2 @ 700)
buy a iMac and an Ipod
buy 5 PS3’s
buy a flat screen tv
buy and shoot 3000 rounds out of that colt M4
Stay at a all inclusive mexican resort for 5 days 4 nights with $400 left for Tequilia
But you get the idea drugs are expensive in all forms, I just wish for a change I got a bit of a break. Although it could be worse I could have to choose between food and drugs. Instead I just had to choose between bankruptcy and drugs.
buy a colt m4
buy
