How's everybody enjoying their President's weekend price gouging? Gasoline is up $.50 since Monday round these parts.

I hadn't noticed how much it's gone up, but I sure don't doubt it.

Ever since I started driving my FE I see it every few days.
Gotta get a bigger tank so I don't get annoyed so much.

Preparing my truck for a few days in Baja, I wish I could take a gun but what should I pack? Clothes, my spare tire just got checked, I did the fluids and checked the brakes. Washed it, idk what else. Oh I have a 2.5 ton jack.

I'm surprised you're not in that program already Sean, as often as you fly.

I wouldn't even think about taking a gun.

Money? That's why I would need the gun.. I'm only taking enough for the first round of tacos and $ 25 for fuel. I may not even need that. I filled up my tank and I'll just fill up on the way back.

I thought you would want to pump fuel down there, since it's a lot cheaper

If I do I'll have one of my uncles pay for it. I worked for them for free and my uncle still owes me for fixing his forklift. He didn't even pay me for parts.
