We’ve got another bastard in charge - it is time to do something about him.

How much does it cost you to fill up that Explorer?
I would like to have one, but I think that these high gas prices will kill me at the pump if I had to fill up one of those fine Explorers.
You know? I took my wife over to the Ford place here in town because I had a hankering to replace an old BMW that I got tired of spending a buttload on for life-supporting oxygen and such.
I thought the top of the line Taurus was nice - she drove it and said “nice”...she was eyeing this behemoth Explorer that cost a full $10K more and asked the salesman to drive it.
That was it - I was sunk. The Explorer. The most expensive bells and whistles car I ever bought - even the $40K BMW I bought her in 1997.
Gas tank is smaller (24 Gallons vs. my F150 26 gallons)...figure $75/tank for it, I guess. If you have children, or grandchildren like we do, safety and confidence are worth more than cost.
