GOOD MORNING MCF!! Hope Everyone Has A Great Day!! :thumbsup:

Red Nightmare 11-01-2012 11:49 PM

this hurricane sh** is driving me up the walls. Everyone has been bulking up on gas since 90% of Long Island, NY is out of power. I may have power....but I still feel the horrific effects. the monte only has 4 gallons of gas left...Not going to last a day of driving... EVERY gas station has been sucked dry... & any station with left over gas has a line over a mile long.

the wife is stuck calling out...& I'm stuck riding the bicycle to work. soooo gonna get sick. ):

Leprechaun93 11-02-2012 02:30 AM

I feel you Jen. Its bad up here too. I.went for.gas on lunch and my usual station had nothing and others are low. People are saying.it'll be a month before we get gas. I don't believe that. But we Will see....

MnteCrloSS47 11-02-2012 03:16 AM

I feel bad for all of you down there :( hope the mayors and such get it figured out soon, sounds like complete chaos in some places.

Good Morning everyone

Taz 11-02-2012 04:16 AM

Here in Windsor, Ont they're raising the price of gas. With the excuse that they're sending as much gas as they can to NY/NJ.

DE02Carlo 11-02-2012 05:10 AM

Good morning all! TGIF!
They are raising it here too. They just use the refineries as an excuse. But at least it is available. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com<img src=" /><o:p></o:p>

Leprechaun93 11-02-2012 05:11 AM

Hmm we shall see. Im surprised stations are running out in my are and im.surprises at the lines.

03SSLE 11-02-2012 07:30 AM

Good mornin' all & TGIF!

06mistreSS 11-02-2012 07:31 AM

Morning everyone.

So, I got stopped on the way to dinner with Amanda yesterday evening by Ann Arbor Police for the window tint. Had to have that first time with the 06 eventually. Two officers came up on either side of the car. The officer talking to me actually turned out to be really cool and let me go with a warning, which really surprised me. I was straight up honest with him which probably helped my case but it still surprised me. Actually this was the first time I've ever been asked if I had a prescription for it.

The Monte is going into winter storage tomorrow. :thumbsdown: Spring, come quick!

Leprechaun93 11-02-2012 07:33 AM

Morning again all, reports of gas lines everywhere this morning. My town i didn't see any on my way home. But my usual gas station made the front page of the news paper. Our issue is how close we are to New Jersey, stations have no power down there so people are coming up here for gas. I really wish i had a diesel pickup, or a diesel anything as stations have plenty of that:rolleyes:

ChibiBlackSheep 11-02-2012 08:29 AM

Wish I was a little closer. I'd meet you with some tanks full of gas if you needed it.

Budsjlm 11-02-2012 09:37 AM

Morning all, not a ton vgoing on here today, just work, then pick up jack, and relax,

Now thats a picture i want to see :rotfl: Hey Jen your young! So you can handle it. Just think of it as making memories :thumbsup:

Ricks 2006 SS 11-02-2012 09:48 AM

Watching the TODAY show. And they said the problem is getting the tankers in to the Harbour and then to the gas stations. Coast Guard and the cops are trying to help get this done. But the long lines are a bigger problem. Plus just getting the ships in is another. I think its going to get worst before it gets better... Just try and keep your cool :cool: ...And GOOD LUCK. Hope this is mostly over in a week or two. The bigger picture is going to go on for a long time. And if this is the NEW Normal weather pattern! I'd pack up & Move!!! Why wait till it happens again & again..

we've got the same thing going on here. i've been trying to stick around the house the last few days (had off work because of the storm) because fuel is tough to come by without waiting in a 3+ hour line. i feel like i'm in a remake of the roadworrior, everyone fighting over the precious gasoline, lol.

:cool: i'll take one in red! lol :D

Leprechaun93 11-02-2012 05:57 PM

Thats an interesting looking car:rotfl: And this gas bs, i've had enough already. I went out to run errands, gas lines are snagging traffic. My normal convience store had one entrance closed off and a line at the other, but kudos to them as they had a ton of people directing traffic so it was organized. But i've already had enough, a couple stations have no gas around here.

monte carlo 3831 11-02-2012 06:03 PM

Keane were you able to get gas yet?

Leprechaun93 11-02-2012 06:23 PM

Yea i got some last night on my lunch break, monte is full for now and hopefully when i need gas again this bs will have subsided

skylark65 11-02-2012 07:00 PM

my plan was, when my truck gets low on fuel i'll start driving the monte.... hopped in it today to fire the old girl up and move her around, and someone (prolly my lil brother when he cleaned it) zeroed out the trip odometer... so i've got no real idea how much fuel is in the car. i forget how lucky i am to have a working fuel guage in the truck, lol.

Leprechaun93 11-02-2012 07:08 PM

Fuel guage in my monte doesn't work quite right either, usually after i use around a quarter tank or so it becomes useless and just does whatever it wants:rolleyes:

skylark65 11-02-2012 07:15 PM

at least you've got it 'till 3/4 of a tank, mine just flips back and forth between F and E every couple of minutes, lol. i used to tank up at about 250 miles.

Leprechaun93 11-02-2012 07:24 PM

About the same for me, around 250 miles i fill up and its usually around 10 gallons to fil it. I still have to watch mileage as once i get lower the guage is useless.
