Lurker comes out of the shadows...

Yes, i'm one of those lurkers.. been so for a few months. So i finally put a deposit down on a LB/W MSCa today. I, like Robin, will be replacing an acura integra. I dont mind the wait, i just hope my acura doesn't die on me while im waiting.

Thanks to everyone for providing such a wealth of information while i lurked.

Welcome... I too was a lurker, but am glad to have finally joined the community. This place, as you are aware, is a goldmine for information.
Now for the wait... which is beginning to be a real pain because I'm now having to commute in my gas-guzzling chevy tahoe. Should have waited a little longer before selling my VW Jetta.

Thanks everyone!

yeah, i filled up my acura this morning, and i broke $40 for the first time. I know it's probably not a lot compared with a SUV.

I miss $0.89/gal gas.

I paid nearly $65 to fill my BMW 323iT (and that's with 27 mpg on this tank!) today- OUCH I can't imagine filling a Suburban.

I hit the $75 cutoff on our suburban yesterday and quit. Didn't feel like putting in another $75 dollars. Can't wait until that thing is parked.

Lurkers always welcome.

Suburbans are fun to fill up - now $120.00. And since my wife loves to drive to empty we do it often, she only gets 15 mpg. My truck, Chevy Crew Cab 16.3 mpgs. We are keeping both and adding the clubman - boy what a day when I can fill it up for half the price - even with premium!
