Saw this Freepermobile this morning.
It was at the Sheboygan Yacht Club parking lot.
(That's my bicycle in front of it.)



Had the following stickers on the back:

"Bush/Cheney 04"
NRA sticker
"It's A Child, Not A Choice"
(Peace symbol) "Footprint Of The American Chicken"
"God Bless America" on camo ribbon sticker
Yellow ribbon sticker "Support The Troops"

Sheesh...

1. I get sheer joy thinking about how they must spend $75-100 a week...
...on gasoline. Sure, I know, if they can afford a hummer they can afford the gas. But just think if they have to spend $50/week on gas. That's $2600/year provided that they never go anywhere other than the basic trips around town.

:rofl:

12. I used to...
...until I realized how much I'm probably going to spend on heating oil this winter to keep my house at a not-so-toasty 60 degrees. Better be careful driving those pieces of shit around my neighborhood.

18. sheee-it, I spend 40 bucks just to fill up my 20-25 mpg 95 Cherokee!
Edited on Sat Jul-30-05 08:48 PM by fleabert
I bet it takes at least 100 bucks to fill it once, and I bet they fill it more than once a week. Those things get about 13 mpg...with a 32 gallon tank, that's only 416 miles per tank.

edit: I did the simple math, it's about 80 bucks to fill it at 2.50 p/g

2. Well
I'd be willing to bet my life's savings that the owner has no ability for critical, reflective thought.
A hopeless, spoon fed sheep who believes the corporate war machine as expressed through it's mouthpiece the television and especially FAUX News.

11. I've recently started living life without a car
and using my bike.Some adjustments, sure, but I take comfort in the fact that I am no longer using petroleum in the form of gas for my car.
I live in an urban area, where it is easier to do this kind of thing.
And the side benefit of increased physical fitness too.........

15. Why isn't he in Iraq, then?
Yacht club...probably able to man a REAL Humvee. Shoulda put some enlistment forms under his windshield wiper.

Trek 830. Quality bike. I like your ride better than his.

16. Thanks.
A friend gave the bike to me for helping him move, and after having the front brakes fixed, it worked great.

My only gripe is the tire stems require this screw-on adapter when I put air in the tires.
