Honestly, I plan upon driving the ****ens out of my Z for the next year. The cost of doing so now is still affordable. I feel that the time is not far away when it will really be a luxury to do so, so enjoying it now is my plan.

I was at the gas station yesterday talking with a friend who was filling up his pickup.... $100.00.... about 30 gallons.... he must do that at least once a week.... made my $30.00 fill-up not as painful as usual.

Here's an interesting article on current gas prices, driving, and consumer trends in Germany:

Despite very high - and constantly rising - gas prices, fuel sales still increase.
