Haha, you FOOL.

I live in a condensed, walkable part of town. Grocery store, dispensary, job, school, restaurant/breweries and everything else is within a half mile of my house.

Y’all will never catch me living in some suburban hell hole.

Lol fucking retard. "Libs" have an average higher income and those areas have a higher GDP as well. Imagine the efficiency if the income from the libs wasn't used to carry those red areas via tax dollars. Congrats, overall red states and areas are a drain on the government. Shocking.

Thats better than a bicycle!
Gas prices don't really matter to me much anymore since I just got a job only like 2 miles from home. When I went to my interview a few days ago I saw someone rode their dirt bike . I'm surprised I don't see people riding lawnmowers for transport around here 😂

I got premium for $5.05 today my car doesn't take anything other than 93 so I have to really monitor gas buddy but this is a station in the hood where noone buys it close to my house.

I'm surprised we haven't been nuked by Russia yet with Biden putting Rachel Levine in charge of the military and giving Rapinoe the medal of freedom after she shits on America and is all about kneeling and hating the US.

Worse is to come I am afraid.

That's the spirit only problem is zero turns are hydrostatic so the only thing you can really do is get a bigger pump, the classic single cilender 12hp mower only 2hp goes to the wheels other 10hp goes to deck so the trick is to find how fast your mower blade pully is going and matching that so you will have 10hp to the wheels and 2 for torque.

But that's really hard to do so mostly just figure out how fast you want to go how fast your going than word problem it out till you have the pully size you want go buy it put it on measur a belt and your set

Ah yes I’m the dumb one who posts #keepgasexpensive. Though it’s not your fault you’re a granola marxist, modern academia is a complete sham. The easily molded are ripe targets. I pray for what states like Montana will become after they’ve been ruined by the garbage politics of out of state transplants like yourself. And you’ll wonder why it went downhill so fast. Why don’t you go and try your little #keepgasexpensive meme outside of your bozeman uni bubble and see how far it gets you. Go back to whatever CA/CO/East Coast hellhole you're from and stop ruining the few red states that still have their sanity.

First of all please don't call me a Marxist. Second I was kinda joking I just love how much the gas prices piss everyone off and clearly it worked, Im living in your head and in your walls.

Also I love how white people always complain about immigration when really all us white people are from Europe and have taken over the land of others

If you can afford a car that requires premium, shouldn't gas price be a non issue for you? Then again no sense wasting money paying more when GasBuddy can help. Just caught me as an odd statement

You see car prices recently? 20 grand only gets you a piece of shit 30 doesn't do much better. If you are buying something used they all kinda cost the same. Its nice to drive luxury cars I only spent 28 grand on mine a year ago. The average car payment currently in America for whips being purchased rn new and used is 770 dollars mine is 500. Everything is expensive. Glad I am not worrying about charging an electric or repairing it when its range drops by 50% bc the battery starts to suck after a year.


I never used to think about how much a trip that took 3/4 a tank of gas actually cost just went tank to tank etc but in Bidens America it gets real quick when going somewhere 2 hours there and back is 100+ bucks. LIke no shit it used to be 60-70 but I didn't leave the house thinking about that like I do now.

The National Household Travel Survey in 2020 reported that 35% of private vehicle (cars, SUVs, trucks) trips were less than 2 miles. I get y'all have to get to work but you can do a lot of those smaller trips on a bike, a scooter, skateboard, your feet, etc. It's fun, healthy, and cheaper. I'm not talking about the world changing to more expensive, efficient cars. I'm talking using your existing car less and using your own body to make more trips. It takes like 15 minutes to bike 2 miles to the grocery store or your buddy's house and that's if you are slow. It's way healthier both for your body and your brain. This is what i'm getting at.
