Thank You, OPEC

I am aflame with temptation.

Trucks are getting so cheap now, they practically take you to court and force you to take them for nothing. I can get a Nissan Frontier with all the crap I like for around $16,500. Man, it would be nice to have one.

But I don’t think I can bear to part with the T-bird just yet. Ford seems to have fixed the COP problem, and I do love a ragtop.

If I kept it, I would have to park the truck outside, and some idiot in this neighborhood has an egg fetish. I can’t believe how cowardly people are. I must be the scariest guy in Miami. I don’t know if I’ve offended someone, or if the kids across the street are just growing up and feeling their hormones.

It could be the trashy neighbors across the fence, with the junky cars and the green pool and the barking dogs and the loud parties in the middle of the night. I’m sure they hear from the cops all the time. Maybe they go around the neighborhood and egg every property, to make sure they got whoever turned them in.

One thing I don’t understand: people with used trucks are trying to charge 80% of the cost of a new one. Hard to believe, in this market.

I know I won’t buy. But I have to say, the oil crisis isn’t completely bad.
