Whitefang Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I think most of us experienced forumites who belong to several online forums can count on one hand the number of threads we started that DIDN'T get "derailed" with matters not related to our thread's main topic, and have fingers left over. It's come to be a rite of passage on these message boards, and getting all whiny having hissy fits over it is pointless and unbecoming. I've tried to "Mother hen" threads before and came to realize the futility of it. So I simply try to keep on topic regardless of where else it seems to be going, and hope I get an on topic response. Unless of course, if the "derailment" seems to be more fun. Then it's an "If you can't beat 'em" thing. Whitefang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Pepper Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) We are still waiting to hear the never ending tail of the R8. I love your style you came in all hot, guns blazing, new person on the forum, maybe from Europe, and now were here solving the worlds economic crisis with idiots who play guitars. Idiot is a term of endearment like gaudy pig. Edited December 5, 2021 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forsaken Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I'm seeing prices come down here to be honest. We had some long lockdowns here, especially in my state and many people were without jobs for a long time. Some people also went nuts with Afterpay shopping lol.

fortyearspickn Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Gas here inTexas is $3.00. National average is $3.40. Supply and Demand must be extra far apart in So Cal ! Unless it’s the State Tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supply and Demand must be extra far apart in So Cal ! Unless it’s the State Tax. You'd assume it'd be cheaper in Texas, but at $3.00 and the average here in MI being $3.19, it's not all that much cheaper. But in Cali, they might be adding a lot of what's called "sin tax" on gasoline, like here in MI, liquor and cigarette taxes are deferred to the cost of a gallon of gas. As well as a tax to help maintain roads. So I imagine gas would be even cheaper here if Michigan kept their WEIGH STATIONS open on it's freeways and help prevent a lot of overloaded trucks from fudging up our roads. Which would mean less money going for their upkeep, which would mean more tax dollars going towards where it will do most of us the most good and one less tax added to the gasoline price.
