With gas this low I don't care how it smells

So if this is true...
Why would Saudi Arabia be able to increase production to put US oil production out of business if our government really has that much sway?

Because the bigger compelling agenda is to punish Putin.

Seems to me we would want to get out of bed with them.

Absolutely not.

Imagine the USA free from their oil.

Big business has nightmares about it every night.

Do you have any idea how much money and resources we put into "protecting" our precious oil in the middle east? Imagine half that amount being spent on renewable and sustainable energy sources right here on our very own continent?

Yes, imagine big business getting only half of the government's business because of less intervention in foreign affairs.

Big, global business is driving the business world today. It ain't going away anytime soon.

I'm actually coming around to that kind of thinking...
We need stay at home Mom's to raise the kids (I've always believed in this)... Dropping them off at daycare at 3 months and never really having that solid relationship is screwing up our kids. No wonder why we are the #1 country for drug addiction, depression and anxiety disorders...

You said it bro.

I'm hoping someday many, many, religious right wingers are going to wake up to these truths.

Aw! Somebody's always taking the thrill out of driving these days.

Naw, you just need one of these

This is where jasonc comes in....

End times teaching says Russia invades Israel because of economic hardship. With Putin's economy being destroyed by lower oil production--and assuming we're really at that point in prophetic time--Putin baby invades the middle east.

Problem is, they're the problem! And they don't even realize it. They think getting ahead is getting further in debt themselves. It's that same greed big business has, only at a smaller scale. They've been sold a lie and don't know how to get out of it.

I don't make a ton of money, but I've always lived below my means, and I've always paid off my debts before they were due. I'm now generating wealth.. with much less of an income than many who desire to have the things I have.

Actually, no. They are actually very cheap! I paid $900 for all four, including the Firestone rubber. I love them! And yes, they are solid aluminium.

Oh doggy do do... you just ruined a good conversation lol! But hey, it's entertainment right lol!

It's funny, but I was going to say way back in 1981 it cost $1000.00 to put Firestone rubber on Cragar rims on my '74 Nova SS (I'll post a pic sometime--not your average Nova).

I never did it for obvious reasons. I just kept the road and salt weary ones on that I had.

I figured I'd beat jasonc to the punch.

[Jethro Bodine]

Oh, by the way. That's the same front stub frame they used on the Nova.

Now if I really wanted to kill this thread I'd get Willie T and we'd start talking about how awesome we were when we were young.

I never saw a thread come to a screeching halt faster than when we did that.

I bet even Pizza doesn't care what his gas smells like these days.

I got the tires and rims from Warholic tire in Detroit. http://www.warholaktire.com/ Funny bunch of guys and it's a big hole in the ground with late 50's equipment. Most of their business is used tires cause "they aint in the good part of Detroit"... I've shopped the rims for my car, and they are a grand anywhere else. I don't know exactly how I got on this guys good side, but he gives me excellent deals. He saved my buddy just under a grand on his truck tires. (same exact tires). Now I get all my tires from "Mike". He's a hoot. Check out his facebook page if you ever get a chance. He's just a bit escentric, but way cool.

I have to tell this story... I couldn't find anyone who knew anything about sizing tires for the Camaro until I stumbled across Mike. He had an idea, but I wanted to take advantage of every inch of my rear wheel well with rubber and any Camaro enthusist will tell you each 1st gen Camaro is different. Mix in the fact you can run 18's, and that just confuses the matter more.

Mike actually had a spare rim that fit my camaro and a junk tire the size we were thinking about, but didn't know. He mounted the tire and gave it to his nephew and his nephew drove the tire to my work that day on his lunch break which was about 25 miles from his tire store. I took the tire home, put it on the car, took pictures and texted Mike the pictures including measurements for clearance.and bam, we had our tire.

If that aint service, I don't know what was. And for $900 bucks for the tires and rims... Amazing.

If it's anything like my dog....
Just sayin

I've actually looked at aftermarket sub frames,and they are different.
Oh... I used to have a 71 Nova RS. Man, I miss that car!

lol. evil hydro carbons. 'merica is too whiny to tolerate diesel cars as they are too 'noisy'. which they aren't with direct injection. as that doesn't need glow plugs to warm up the diesel to start the engine. direct injection is very effiicent
