Yeah. I hear ya. With some of those cars, I swear, you could see the fuel gauge movin' downward when you let loose.

Even the new ones aren't gentle on your pocketbook. Recent favorites were a Grand Cherokee Limited and a Crown Vic with Police Interceptor package. Mostly stock. Screamers. Gas hawgs.

These days we use nondescript, yet spunky but easy on gas, vehicles for our ramblings around the country.

Marina gas prices are way higher. They hate when we pull out and then dock at a public mooring and haul a few cans of gas to fuel up the Cobalt. Then off we go... ;)

Yep. I miss boating in FL. But, the Great Lakes are loads of fun.
 
here was my last 30 minute 100 dollar cruise on Squam Lake, a.k.a Golden Pond ( the same one from the movie ) with the 454 powering it..... :D :D :D

5 dollars a gallon in the marina....ugh

Was that a Hillary Clinton moment by Lena? "It's my sinuses. Who cares about the gas prices. Roll on." :) :p
 
BTW. What year is that Arabian? Really nice.




1976 Century Arabian Glass - with original 440 V-8 engine bored to 456 cu. inch and balanced. V-drive. Originally mahogany brown exterior with Burgundy/White vinyl interior. Excellent chrome, glass, interior. Hull sides have been re-sprayed black, the boat needs some finishing, the trailer may also be available. These Arabians perform very well and have classic styling. Don't hesitate because these boats are getting harder to find.

And, NO. I'm not a Cap'n Mike, Martin, Rosemary and all of y'all that know the waters and seas so much better. I just enjoy and survive. So far, so good.

Fun stuff. One day, we went at a full frontal wave. I pumped it out and went around. Kathy lost an expensive pair of glasses. Harrumph - "What happened to the "Croakies?" "I forgot them." Geez. Well... We ain't gonna find them now, as I pumped up and jumped some waves." Her only comment - "Thank God we don't have the pup or kids onboard."

Voosh, I'm a swabbie, with a great captain who grew up on the Great Lakes. I like the picture with the pine trees going right down to the water. So tonight we will listen, again, to "Take Me Back to Chicago." By Chicago.
 
I don't know what "poifect" is. But, Kathy and I have weathered a lot of tough waters. Closest to poifect, besides being on SBH, are all the times on the water (she is THE diver and swimmer, I'm the boat tender ;) .)

She won't ride with me on a motorcycle (only once.) She handles the gears darned well in a car on back roads at insane speeds. Yikes!
