What me worry. If you own a performance car the last thing you should think about is gas prices. My view is oil is a limited resourse, I want to use my fair share before we run out. Since I'll be dead in about 20 years I'm not really worried. Call me a selfish eco-disaster, but I'm getting 450-550 hp with 18mpg. When I grew up you'd be lucky to get 9mpg with this kind of horsepower. But when I can I do my share to save the planet. Solar panels power my all of my house, tankless water heaters save both natural gas and water, solar heating for the pool, drought tolerant landscaping with drip irrigation (I wanted to install a greywater system but the city wouldn't let me), triple pane windows. low VOC paint (no more getting stoned while painting), insulation as thick as several thousand minks (opps PETA is gunna kill me), and my wife gets to car pool. We are living in the last golden age of the internal combustion engine automobile. Enjoy it while you can.
Friggen well stated.......obviously a baby boomer!!!

Ty Sgt. Yep I'm an army brat kid. 82nd Airborne.
Jae, bring Stella, Dora, Maria, Michelle and who ever you else you got.
All kidding aside, it would be fun to organize a C63 Socal Driving tour (this sitting in a parking lot might be fun for an hour but I'd rather be driving). I've gone a few trips with PCA,the SLK forum guys, and a mixed group of 6Speeders. Always a good time. Fun run up Mt Palomar/Borrego or to Palm Springs?
