Gas costs back on road to $3
The steady climb to higher spring gasoline prices is under way and a repeat of last year’s $3 a gallon is a strong possibility. (Read more…)
In CA, and SF in particular, headlines like this are just a bit funny. It’s gotta be YEARS since gas was under $3 bux here.

Yay for the concept. Boo, obviously for the execution. This thing looks bigger than my NX, and I shan’t be using it to split lanes down Sutter street during rush hour.
I’m not a danger freak or speed junkie for the most part. I ride a motorcycle because its fantastically practical. Especially in San Francisco, where you can’t park, except for the main “thoroughfares” which might as well be parking lots.
A motorcycle allows me to move through traffic a lot faster than even the smallest car, and when I arrive at my destination I can generally park about 10 feet from the entrance.
Cool pic though. Now make it 1/4 the size and I’m on it.

For some the answer is torching the vehicle. Investigators say they have their hands full with claims for stolen SUV’s, many of those cases may simply be fraud.
I have a rockin’ little 92 Nissan NX which I adore. I’m a die hard motorcyclist, but I had to buy a car when I broke my leg a few years ago. I was intending to keep it only through my recovery, but it ended up being nice to have a little car around to run errands with and whatnot. But I never intended to keep it so I never really bothered with maintenance.
Since I decided to keep it, it was time to put some money into it. A $400ish CV Joint/Axle replacement job turned into about $1900 after they told me all the struts wanted replacing. They are all original, and the car has 68k, so it was time… but MAN I wasn’t expecting that little surprise.
I sure hope my ESPP does well next quarter!
Sphere: Related ContentA hummer that got high centered on the safety rail that keeps pedestrians from falling onto the highway below the overpass. The 280 South Mariposa exit at 18th and Pennsylvania is notorious. People wreck on it about every 2 months. Only 3 times have I seen a car get high centered though. Pretty funny (since everyone was all right).
