(not) GBMINI

This amusing picture was sent to me by local MINI owner “Zippity”:

He wrote: I did a double take when I saw this license plate. At first thought, wow, there’s a NH version of the famous Massachussetts GBMINI plate, but then upon closer examination, I was corrected. But I still wondered why this plate was on what it was on.

So, anyone want to guess why a Ford Explorer has the license plate “G3MINI”?

Gas prices

Of course we have all seen it recently …

A crazy spike in gas prices supposedly “caused” by the devastating hurricanes … but is anyone really fooled by the price behaviour – my prices (generally Sunoco 91 in New England) jumped from $2.50 to $3.50 in just a few weeks, and now about the same time period again and we are almost back down to the original price.

I can’t believe that we ran out of gas so instantly when the hurricane(s) struck, and I don’t believe that all the gas is back to pre-hurricane normality either now.
The only other choice … someone is screwing with us 😦

At least I am paying $30-$40 to fill my tank, unlike owners of H2s 😉
