I would pay "pay per view" rates to see Greta smack Mark around!

I heard 87 octane at the Bellingham Arcos is 10 cents cheaper.

I really had to read the article twice before it really sank in how amazing that is. Depending on the day there are about 194 countries in the world. This means that Exxon's revenue is greater than the GDP of 90% of the world's countries.

I'll have to take a look at this when I get home and read through it. Not going to tackle it on my iPhone.

My only response to the weaving in traffic bit is if here weren't so many tools on the Washington roads it would not be necessary. As well, you can weave smoothly and transition in a way that is smart and yet others do it recklessly......I am not condoning recklessness.

Ever see the "keep right except to pass signs"? How many times have you been driving and as you pass some tool dives in front of you driving slower seemingly only to keep you from taveling a respectable margin above the posted limit.

I don't have many peeves.

But I don't like the idea of being on the road with people that are barely trained to drive. Some peeves:

1) littering.
2) under inflated tires. Do they have any idea?
3) reckless driving/passing/speeding on hwy 2 with children on board. it is called the highway of death for a friggen reason!!!
4) People that ask me "how fast have you had it?" Like I am going to answer that question.
5) People on internet forums that respond to your post, but don't answer your question. FWIW, I don't see that here in the NW section, or on 6 speed in general. But other forums just kill me on this one.

ok, apparently I lied, I have many pet peeves.

Being a very hip old lady, let me help you out Mark. See my notes next to each of the acronyms above.

Just a tip - if you ever run into one you don't know, you can google it - there are even texting dictionaries online.

Hope this helps.
