apparently they do , the one in the picture is the base model , the optional deluxe version comes with a pointy stick , the super sport version has a monogrammed whip made with the best Connelly hide , there is a rumour of a racing version , it has a heifer out front as lead cow ,
the UK is not seen as a market for this vehicle , as the tax on a 6 cowpower rig would be astronomical , but we are looking at using a 2 X chinchilla dogpowerd version ,
got a interesting picture her of "john " smiling just before he set the UK 's fasted dog cart record in the UK , the dogs got the scent of a rabbit, and chased it through a gate , John expects to be out of Hospital soon ,

I wish gas per gallon price would just reach $10.00 already, the suspense is buggin me out. Just raise it up for pete sakes, get it over with. I just paid my shell card for the month, $2348.83 , real nice. Thats bullS#!t. Just get the damn price where you want it, and leave it the hell alone. Stop these jerk off speculators from farting around with the GD oil !
There's no shortage of oil, I can't stand and listen to someone tell me that oil will " run out " in so long, bullS#!t ! how the hell do they know this when we haven't even begun to drill in one tiny little area where we "think" there could be 25% of the world oil reserves. And there's many more places !!!!!!
Someone said today, " drill through the polar bears head, and get the frickin oil " !
All the while China is buying the scrap from the floods, and slant drilling in the gulf , 50 miles off the Fla. coast, under the UNITED STATES of AMERICA, takin the oil that WE NEED , then selling it to us! WTF !!!
We can't eat the tomatoes because the mexicans are S#!tting in the fields, so we give them a drivers license and press #1. You people want all of this crap, TAKE IT, IT'S YOURS ! Who the hell is gonna feed , and fix you when you get sick or cut or broken or have 8 more babies on the systems tab then ? You left because you couldn't get it or do it there ! Try it on your own then, go ahead, please, you want this place so damn bad, do it !
There paying $2.38 avg in Mexico for gas, and selling it to us so we can pay $4.00. --------- plus !
Just take it already, who's gonna buy the Japanese cars, and worthless lead painted toys, bad beef , hey there's an idea, to hell with bad poisoned S#!t filled beef, lets eat polar bear , and caribou. !!!!!
*Rant not over , just getting warmed up *

good to see the UK is near the top of the list ,I think
normally we are at #98, in most lists,! including football. and cricket , and now tennis , all games we invented ,
of course America can afford to pay more , the richest , most powerfull country in the world , so my Arab friends tell me ,
( time to cut and run me thinks )
heads up on a developed nation , just my view , ( feel free etc. your opinion is valued
and have a nice day ) sorry guys the Brit humour crept in there
,
Yes America is cute , a great country, great folk , but totally isolated from the rest of the world ,and for that it is now suffering , personally I derive no pleasure in that thought ,
the UK has acted as a buffer between Europe and America , but times are changing fast , it has been an uneasy task for us over here , but now push the UK , and we will turn to France and Europe , hell,l it's only 21 miles away, for me I am more French ( by birth ) than American 3000 miles away , time and history moves on ,
you shouldn't have chucked our tea into the river
for me as a old boy that loves America the change is hard and sad , but for my grandson if I mention America he laughs , and says what like Vietnam and Iraq, ,
respect , as always

, Bro the world is all in the same boat, maybe the oil is there , but it won't be at the pumps tomorrow ,
Mudmanc and fellow Americans lend me your ears ,(Julia's Cesar just before he got stabbed in the back ), by your isolation you miss the Brit humour , times are tough for us both ,but the UK has seen far worse in the past , and pulled through poorer but wiser , just put the kettle on and smile , there is F**k all else you can do ,
allways look on the bright side of life ,

Btw if you want real insulting give me a PM, anytime ,( I offer the same service to the French, German Spanish etc free of charge )

Hey, hard times are just upon us, and it is time to tighten the old purse strings and belt. Thats all. Not like we did not go through the great depression, some old folks said times were not that bad as folks actually got closer during those times.
What else was there but neighbors?
People like my wife are going nuts. She drove 40 miles round trip to get some radio station promoted $1.99 a gallon. ANd broke down, so it cost me $15 in gas to go get her back on her way. When will women figure out deals are not always deals.
Yeah she'll drive 20 miles to get a $.85 item for $.25
Women.

LOL Mudmanc, quote " All the while China is buying the scrap from the floods, and slant drilling in the gulf , 50 miles off the Fla. coast, under the UNITED STATES of AMERICA, takin the oil that WE NEED , then selling it to us! WTF !!!
whats all this slant drilling (directional drilling ) under the USA, you got a link to that ?,
the Chineese are drilling in Cuban teritorial waters , and they paid cuba to do that ,
it's about 35 miles outside American teritorial waters ,
and the record for Directional drilling is 6 Miles , from the rig !, indeed America has the right to drill that oilfield also as long as it keeps within it's teritorial waters ,
maybe I have read the maps wrong , so if any one has a link I would apreciate it ,

I don't see how we are isolated with all the new immigrants every year both illegal & legal.We outsource so many jobs we should keep here.
We are at war with Iraq & Afghanistan.We are always so much in the rest of the worlds business most other countries hate us.
We probably import more goods than any other country certainly more oil.
So how is that being isolated?

A lot of people refer to Viet Nam as Americas' longest war.It was not.
America warred 50 years against the Sioux Nation,50 years against the Apache Nation.& 100 years against the Seminole Nation to name a few.
It just Viet Nam was the first war we lost .I actually count the Korean War as a loss too.That's because our government forgot how to war.If we had used the best weapons we had to the fullest effect like we did on the Native American Nations there would have been no lost wars.Against the Native American Nations the United States used its' best weapons including bio warfare with measles & small pox.Since our leaders have forgotten how to war we should stay out of wars.Or let Americans like me run the war.
tommie gorman good post of the low prices .You sure don't see that on the evening news.It's always the high prices Europe is paying trying to make us feel like we are getting a bargain.

All the while China is buying the scrap from the floods, and slant drilling in the gulf , 50 miles off the Fla. coast, under the UNITED STATES of AMERICA, taking the oil that WE NEED , then selling it to us! WTF !!!
Right now there is a ban so oil companies can't drill new off shore wells even if the wanted too.Which they don't.Congress has again failed us in keeping this ban.
I think Congress should require all the off shore drilling possible by American oil companies.Part of this is on the American people it is our fault we elect corrupt politicians & do nothing about them.

Cuba lies within this zone:
Exclusive economic zone
An exclusive economic zone extends for 200 nautical miles (370 km) beyond the baselines of the territorial sea, thus it includes the territorial sea and its contiguous zone.[3] A coastal nation has control of all economic resources within its exclusive economic zone, including fishing, mining, oil exploration, and any pollution of those resources. However, it cannot regulate or prohibit passage or loitering above, on, or under the surface of the sea, whether innocent or belligerent, within that portion of its exclusive economic zone beyond its territorial sea. Before 1982, coastal nations arbitrarily extended their territorial waters in an effort to control activities which are now regulated by the exclusive economic zone, such as offshore oil exploration or fishing rights (see Cod War). Indeed, the exclusive economic zone is still popularly, though erroneously, called a coastal nation's territorial waters.
Since we are the more powerful nation I would just not allow the Chinese to drill.I would have already annexed Cuba anyway.
Roco I think you have it backwards Cuba is paying the Chinese to do the drilling & deliver the oil to Cuba.The Chinese are not experienced enough,have a very bad enviromental record so they probably care little about an oil spill.You know who will end up with the enviromental problem when the Chinese screw up & oil is all over the American Gulf Coast states.So we need to do the drilling & give Cuba the share we deem fair.If they don't like it tough.
