Just be glad you didn't have to pay $4.40 per gallon for premium gas in Mendocino, CA like we did when going to the Bimmerfest last spring!

Now that really HURT!

sad, but i don't even pay attention to gasoline prices anymore. i figure, it is what it is.

There was a little old man at the gas station where we filled up on our sunday drive w/ the 6speeders. I think we made his day! I'll quote him... "WOW! ALL of these porsche's with supreme gas! wow! this is going to be a GOOD day! Usually, we just get lots of motorcycles!". Needless to say, he was sooo excited about the day's revenue that he was actually fumbling as he was working the cash register!

Glad to see we could help him out!

Premium or regular he 'll still profit around 7-10 cents/gallons. They rely more on the convenient stores for bread and butter profits.

110 octane at the track is close $6.50/gallon. Ouch.

That's true! or the $12.00 sunglasses that I bought there because I forgot mine at home. Needless to say, they broke already. LOL!

That Seahawks game sucked, we should have just kept driving. At least it was good to hear John Madden jabber on about nothing in a funny voice and say things like “first downs are good”. Are you guys complaining about fuel? I sure hope you stay away from any driving in Europe.

Hey Brian,

There's several background worthy shots of your car.

I'll give you a call tomorrow or sunday, I'm really anxious to see how those pictures turned out on your camera. They looked promising on the view screen.

still photoshopping a few of the photos. With our power going out yesterday, my web server not listening on port 25/forwarding requests on to my exchange server and dealing with a retarded detective all week, I haven't had time for a whole lot.

Your power wouldn't go out if you paid your electric bill.

If only it were that easy. We lost right around $40,000 from that power outage alone. What sucks is that NC Power Systems was supposed to have a generator installed a month ago at our HQ, but they shipped us the wrong one. So the new one is getting installed this monday. It would have been really nice to be able to test that badboy out on thursday.

I totally forgot to post the few pics I took on the drive. Does anyone have any recommendations on nice backdrops or scenery for me to take some pics of my car at? I have not taken many pics of my car yet and my friends keep on asking me to take some nice pics!
