Re: HELP!! TwinStep... I need good news.
I shoulda bought a Zodiac like Mitch.
But...
At least I can use the boat as a camper.
I saw this coming so I bought a ride with small blocks, but still.
One dollar per gallon in one year?
It's out of control to the point where it is gonna kill the economy.

It's pretty amazing. I have sat here for the last year with my mouth slowly dropping further and further to the floor. May have to lease the floor below us if it keeps up.

Re: HELP!! TwinStep... I need good news.
I was lulled into thinking it wouldn't get so bad so fast by the fact that gas prices were so stable for so long.
I guess that life changed pretty fast for our parents.
It seems like it is changing pretty fast for us now, too.
