So, my 6 cylinder 1997 Dodge Dakota gets a combines fuel rating of 16mpg. I looked at 2009 version of the same truck and... 17mpg. 12 years and only 1mpg improvement?!?!?
Sadly, only one or two models out of all the manufactures could meet the 18mpg requirement with a 6 cylinder engine. It pretty much means if you want a truck that can haul anything, you are out of luck with this program.
Alas, with the house, it's not like I have money run out and buy a new vehicle anyway...
Posted by an acquaintance on the subject of farts:
Hard boiled eggs done in beet juice are things of true beauty, purple whites and fl. green yolks. Eat 3 of these lil' bombers and wash down w/ Guinness. I cleared a 40 by 60 ft. room @ a party once with 35 people scrambling for Any egress, and there was no ? as to who dropped it. The beet juice amplifies the already potent bomb factor.
So Mark Sanford just up and disappears, doesn't tell anyone where he's going. Almost like he was kidnapped or left in an emergency.
He reappears and says he was hiking. Shortly there after he changes his story that he was visiting his mistress in Argentina, and his car was spotted parked at the airport.
So, if you were going to go to Argentina to visit your mistress, wouldn't you have told people you were going to be out of town so people wouldn't be suspicious?
It just strikes me as odd that he would disappear for days and almost immediately flip with the mistress story. I can't help but suspect there is more to this story.
Oh, nebris's crazy got a bit much, and I felt I had to respond. It seems that if you haven't paid as much for your account, or been on LJ as long as him, he doesn't think you should have an opinion in the LiveJournal election:
