Don't know, but I will probably end up getting a motorcycle by this time next year. I plan on taking the safety classes and getting my endorsement, probably starting out with a Vulcan 900 or soemthing like that for the first couple of years, and then getting a Softail Custom, Fat Boy or Dyna Wide Glide. I will keep my beloved Mustang GT for anything involving carrying passengers, groceries, weather, etc.

...how long before the sharply increasing gas prices start creating mayhem here in the United States? 'Gas and dashes' by gas thieves at service stations are at an alarming rate. People having gas stolen from their parked vehicles is also sharply rising.

Heck... that's the least of the problem. High gas prices can only result in inflation and increased unemployment.

general travel is not happening - one trip solves several stops. The entertainment dollar is he first to go.

AAA has now gone from giving members 5-gallons of gas when the run out road-side to just 1-gallon. And they now require the motorist to try and start the car before they will give gas to make sure the motorist is 'really' out of gas. Hoosier Helpers road-side service has also reported that people are purposely faking running out of gas just for a couple gallons of free gas.

Good lord, do you know how long it takes for those people to get you your free gallon of gas? I guess some people just like making $4 an hour.
