You have got to ask yourself, "Is it really worth having a car at
all"? Isn't it time to break the habit?

"Frustrated motorists are failing to see the benefit of slumping oil
prices as crude yesterday dropped below $100 a barrel, the AA has
warned.

The AA said drivers were being short-changed by up to 6p a litre as
oil giants fail to pass on the benefits of tumbling crude prices.

It said that even allowing for a six week lag between oil prices and
pump prices, motorists still appeared to be being 'ripped off' and
that oil companies were 'dragging their feet..."

night)

You need to get out more, make it except Friday and Saturday nights. You
could then try translating Tami's posts for us.

Oh do give it a rest you idiot.

You want a good use for a car? My mother is old , unwell and lives 5
miles from me. If she has a problem I can get there in 10-15 minutes.
To use public transport I'd have to take a 30 minute bus ride (after
waiting however long it is for the bloody thing to turn up in the
first place) followed by an almost 1 mile walk. And if its after
midnight there is no bus. And no , cycling isn't an option , I live in
a very hilly area.

Why don't you grow up FFS.

Because he's a silly old cunt, simple as that really. I can't see the point
in even pointing out why some people need cars, why I need one to get to
work, and the fact that cars/motorbikes are my main hobby. He doesn't seem ...
