Filled up the tank for $13 today!

In the winter beater that is. It was real nice only paying $13 to fill up the tank. My truck it costs me $40 sometimes. I got a winter car last night. I came across a great deal on a 93 Ford Escort. I took it for a test drive, and for the money I couldn't pass it up. I wanted to get something newer, and nicer like a Jeep Wrangler or a GTP, but I could not find anything that fit me 100%. This Escort runs like a champ, and looks great for a car that is 10 years old. I can't ask for anything more.

looks like a nice little car

It cost me $16.00 to fill up the Focus today, and it will last me all week. It sure feels great having a 15 gallon tank

I put around $100.00 worth of 100 octane fuel in my truck a few weeks ago before I put her away for the season

Nice ride...Now clean up that truck and put it away!



You'll be glad you did in the long run. I miss driving mine already, but it will be worth it in the long run saving mileage and rust

I put my new SafeWay cart up for the winter.

My beater is an old Kroger rustbucket cart with a wobbly front wheel.

I just resign myself to no street racing in winter, unless a Camaro comes by that really wants some.
