Only if you're long on money and short on brains.  ;)

Get in line behind me. I promise I won't drain the pump.  ;)  $30 a week, whether I need more or not.......budgeting a 15 yr old Grand Cherokee is definitely a challenge  :P

I imagine I could find a place for it. I'm short a bit on the scratch, though... :-[

Just kidding you bigwull.

Gas is $3.30 gallon here in Texas.  Bread 1.75 loaf (unless you go to the .99 cent store)!

At least the US.keeps what oil it produces,and  it does,nt get hit it with 60% tax...from the Gov...Scotland is in its own right an oil producing nation,...but we have fuel prices that are one of the highest in the world....because we have a Gov that could,nt  run a cathouse...we produce the finest Malt Whisky....yet we pay an average of $40.. a bottle...i can buy it cheaper in France,Germany...and in almost every other country in Europe...

You had me googling the Multispace. LOVE it.......but not enough space for what I need  :(  The only Citroen I'm familiar with is the old DS with hydropneumatic suspension.  I've never had a better and more comfortable ride.....and we've owned a 86 Crown Vic, a 87 LTD and a 1993 Cadillac DeVille (all in the last 10 years). I swear there wasn't an inch of space in those old Citroens that wasn't padded, including the floors and roof. And playing with the hydaulics was a blast  ;)
