You must understand that our departing president was an oil man from Texas.

$140+ oil, a big scam. that was old news here on carspace months ago, including the reason for it. i did not watch the 60 minutes episode.
let me guess, it was speculators.
the reason the bottom fell out of prices: you actually had to be able to take delivery of the oil.
am i close?

Plus which, you needed a place to store it. Storage capacity was at a premium, since the whole bubble was speculator-driven, not demand-driven. Once the storage capacity was used up, the bubble burst.
 
And, here we are.

actually he was born in new haven, ct.
subject to some debate
once he retires from office do you think he will buy a tundra pickup, since they are manufactured in texas, when the factory is actually making them?

i will go with the chicken.

Sorry, but as a numbers guy if you put numbers in front of me I will crunch them.

Just saw an ad for Hyundai and they said you can bring the car back within one year if you lose your job during that time
 
Ok you go to your friendly neighborhood Hyundai dealer buy that new car 6 months later you lose you job and bring the car back. So how are you now supposed to get around? I suspect that they don't keep your trade in to give back to you just in case.

one of my kids took a bunch of AP math/science courses in high school and did pretty well, got some college credits.
then they go to university, decide to go in a different direction and it isn't so great.
we persuaded them to try a somewhat math oriented minor, but they decided to go for a double major(oh crap, they can barely scratch out a 3.0 in their major, but now want to do a double major).
after starting their 2nd major courses, they are as happy as a clam.
classes are small and profs seem great(u has a good rep in this school).
anyways, we will be buying another car if they get a job for the summer.
wife wants another one, but is no hurry to buy it and pass her current one on, if there is no reason to.
otherwise the kids have to share our one real extra vehicle.

If I bought the cop car off of ebay, I could also buy the outfit and really scare some people on the road.
 
My cousin lives in Mexico City. Check out how he painted his beater car. He gets pulled over all the time, but apparently it's not illegal to impersonate a foreign police car.
