Good news!! When I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong...

STE92VE · 04-23-2008, 08:10 AM

Last month when this graph only went up to $110/barrel, I said oil couldn't go any higher.

Well, now the graph indicates that oil can't go any higher than $120/barrel.

Let's give our fearless leader a round of

for taking the bull by the horns and doing something about foreign oil taking us by another part of our anatomy....

I filled with my first tank of $4.00 a gallon gas today! figure that will be $4.50 by the summer.

I read on MSN news that they predict by next year a barrell of oil will trade at over $200 per.

Only way to cut people off an addiction is to make it unaffordable. Enjoy your E90/E92s boys because in 4-5 yrs a Prius will look like a sportscar.

Those of us of a certain age may remember a song by Rush from the early 80's titled "Red Barchetta". For those that don't, just Google the lyrics. Neil Peart as "Nostradamus".

I think I'll cue it up on the ole Ipod as I drive home this afternoon burning that Super 93......

Glad my commute is currently 2 miles each way and I can ride my motorcycle which gets me 45-50mpg on regular. About to pick up an electric scooter if things get worse.

Oil was up but OSX (oil service index) was down yesterday. Reversal. I'm still long, but when one of the squiggly chart lines I watch crosses another squiggly line I watch, I'll sell now.

I dont think so...Have you heard of TESLA?
We will begin to see more and more of these - at least I hope...

If you go real fast you can air dry.

nasdakboy · 04-23-2008, 10:27 AM

That's what we would call a strong uptrend. If I saw a stock with a chart like that, I'd be buying on any pullback. Sucks how much gas has gone up. I only do about 150 miles a week so I fill up about twice a month. Don't feel it as much as others would. But still, it's a joke.

Six months ago my group was moved to a different campus, turning my 3-minute commute into a 25-minute commute. If this keeps up I'll start camping out in my old office again

I'm working on one right now. It uses a humanoid-ambulatory drive system to supplant the gasoline motor at high speeds. My mod would also lighten the car marginally to accomodate fitting the drivetrain for this system. My problem is that this mod raises the car's center of gravity, which would adversly affect handling.

Here's a mockup:
