986President, I think you're on to something.

When I was a kid, and I got all grouchy and ********************y, my mother would give me a tablespoon of caster oil because she was sure I was constipated and that's what caused the attitude.

I'd highly recommend that everyone posting on this thread fill up your Porsche to the brim with nice, expensive premium fuel, drop the top, and take a very long drive this weekend. May I suggest some Santana for the CD player?

Let this be our caster oil and be "good for what ails you"

If you feel guilty doing this, then you probably should go ahead and plan to sell your Porsche and buy one of the econoboxes (preferably a hybrid) that Richard suggested earlier.

I'm keeping my Boxster though, and I'm still keeping the dream alive to swap my 2.5 for a 3.4... which will no doubt be a bigger fuel hog and produce more fumes.

Talking

BTW- I am about to hop into a C5 Corvette, pull out the Targa roof and take a drive up the Coast Highway. I feel quite virtuous, in that the C5 will get about 28MPG on the Highway and a remarkable 21 just putting around La Costa, CA.

Seriously, I have not issue with using gasoline. At $3.29 I am aware of not wasting it, as this is some expensive stuff. And, I can count on the price varying quite a bit, just like it has all my life.

Let the Good Times roll!

If gas were up to 4 bucks a gallon, i'm sure alot of people including myself wouldn't care. I'd still buy it, the higher the better. i want all suvs and big a$$ pickup trucks to be sold. not only do they get in the way but dirty the air. this is the best thing to happen to america in a long long time, the very best thing to happen is the strict emmissions test coming to effect next month. that will keep all the stinkers off the road as well.
