Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I would sell some of these baby snakes to buy gas...but I STILL haven't gotten my Certificate of Authority (enough on that subject, or I risk going very far  ). Maybe by the time gas hits $4/gal.
Can you say FedEx price increase, boys and girls?

Shhhhhhh!!! I've been pretending if I don't think about the FedEx price increase, it won't happen. 
If (*when*) it does, it's all YOUR fault now Harald.

We are pretty close to the devastation here in Alabama. Gas and diesel shipments have been diverted from here to Mississippi and Louisiana where they need it worse than we do. We were averaging about $2.40 a gallon for gas on Monday. Now it is $3.00 a gallon, up .60 in two days. Reports we are getting say with multiple oil rigs in the gulf being damaged and/or destroyed and multiple refineries down across the gulf coast to expect gas prices to hover at $3.00+ a gallon for a month or so.
My family went to a local shelter yesterday to help serve dinner. Talked with people who now have nothing, no home, no job to go back to, nothing. I'll tell'ya, that helps to put life into perspective.

There have no shortages or restrictions here as of yet. However, I filled my tank up this morning and it was 3.34/gallon for regular. It cost me 43 dollars to fill up my little hyundai.

Not the way I drive!
It is a 14.5 gallon tank but I would have to say on a good day it might see 28 mpg if that.

Hehehe, maybe that's part of the reason I get such crappy mileage in my truck....I've heard that if you keep your foot out of the carbeurator it gets better mileage....but I'll probably never know if that's actually true....

We had a couple here stations here run out. That was after it went from $2.59 to $3.09 over night. I'm defininately not looking forward to filling my 30 gallon tank. I'll probably just put in a few gallons (almost said bucks) and hope it'll drop some. Looks like the road trips will have to wait.

I hate to say it, but my estimates for filling my vehicles may have been a bit low - guess I'll have to fill them sooner to keep at that price

Well, I guess all I can do is to check in with AAA a day before we need to be packing for the MARS show and see what they say about gas availability from Tallahassee to Maryland. Then decide then whether or not to make the trip. I figure if gasoline will be around $4.00 per gallon then, the trip for fuel alone in the van will cost us about $400. Ouch...... Probably best that I not think too much about the actual expenses involved in doing a show, however.
