I haven't been driving that far but have definitely been driving five miles to Costco to save 40-50 cents a gallon!

Had to call 911 _again_. Was out walking Haru at 10pm. We were on the opposite end of the apartment complex. Noticed one or two guys and a bunch of property broken up on the ground. One of the guys comes over to us and asks for my phone. I say I don't have one on me. He starts yelling at me and Haru saying he wants to "slap" us because we're "assholes" or something. Keeps yelling the same thing to his friends.

I keep trying to back us away and Haru was growling at them lol. I'm like Haru I know you enjoy playing rough with the big dogs but this is not one of those types of situations!

I know the sheriffs came but I don't know if they caught the guy(s).

You'd think a suburb would be somewhat immune to this kind of thing but apparently not.

Costco is only .06 less than everyone else here. Not worth going out of your way.

Interstingly enough the C8 only gets a few less mpg around town than the BRZ did. So I'd say that's worth all the benefits 😉.

P.S. The Corvette forums suck and I'll leave it at that.

P.S.X2. My for-sale thread will be coming soon. I would have posted it already but I'm on vacation and I forgot to put the handwritten card in them. So I'll get it when I get back. Stay tuned.

Rain set in ruining my outdoor plans. Sot trying to do some spring cleaning and get a walk path in the basement. I need to quit hording car parts, model kits and tools.

I imagine interesting reasons for the collective personalities of forums.

There was an article that jumped on my phone a while back from a Chevy site, claimed the c8 was muddying the brand, as c8 drivers aren't doing the vette wave, and feel elite to standard vettes

Apparently there's scca runs at deep river water park near me in Merrillville. Their site has the address, but zero info.. must be invite-only or something

The new Civic sedan actually doesn't look half-bad, I keep seeing them on the street. The "hatchback" (I guess it's more like a fastback or something these days) looks too clunky.

Here is 75-80 cents less.
IDK how the hell they are doing it.

Leftovers and reject batches from random refineries would be my guess.

Also volume and the fact they don't need to make a profit off the gas if you are already shopping in their stores.

Yes, because that's how gas works.
