Tell McCain that just because he's got parents that bought his car for him doesn't mean those of us who work to pay for our cars don't want to take good care of them.

LoL and I don't know if your parents bought your car for you Mccain, I'm just inferring it from your post.

Anyways, I can't afford to maintain my car, and I can't afford a new one. So I'm stuck in that spot where I have to not drive it on 12 hour drives full of five people, because then I won't have a car, and I need this baby to work for me until I get my career going.

Let me borrow a car and i'll be more than happy to drive to norcal. I already missed the triweekly 2 weeks ago. And you all didn't believe I wouldn't drive my own car when I got ****** out of dunk's car.

Oh ****, nvm then.

Either way, my offer still stands...

I'll be glad to drive anyone else's car.

EDIT: I'll think about taking my car to a mechanic this week, and we'll see.

just up the charge on 'gas' to help cover maintenance costs

...unless something is already actually broken
Idk why I never thought of that.

And i'm not being sarcastic either. I guess because people who don't drive think that gas is the only cost of driving a car, and they even undervalue gas as well.

It's looking more and more like I have to drive to norcal, because I need to be there early to get to boback, and I need to leave Saturday night for a lunch meeting on Sunday.

Ok, I'll drive.

But I want those that are an hour away to find transportation to my general area if they want a ride.

And I'm only taking 3 people excluding myself. And gas is being paid prior to departure, I don't want to argue with Mango at 5:00am over 3 dollars in gas after he just won 1,200$.

i never thought of it either

until last time i went to socal, i had to get an oil change (and other things the mechanics tricked me into because i didn't care) immediately prior and it came out to like 60 bucks

then my eyes were opened

my parents told me to do it... but i feel bad unless it's something like a 500+ mile round trip

and arguing with mango over those $3 even though he just won a bazillion is hella stupid

last i remember p and fly asked me so talk to them, also julian kao wants to, but idk if he could get to you

I just did a oil change for a classmates car in auto today.

EZPZ. Can do these with my eyes closed. And I would definatly not charge $60 for something so easy to do.

and i definitely would not trust you to do it

i'd rather overpay a little bit (i assume 20-30 is about fair, plus all the other gimmicky stuff they had me do) and have confidence than skimp with something so important

60 is a lot reguardless

and doing an oil change yourself is EZPZ if you've done it like twice

the two hardest things are if you filter is screwed on too tight, or the nut is in an awkward place to unscrew

60 included other things like tire rotation, air filter, fuel system cleaning, whatever (a ton of things i didn't understand)

i don't doubt that i overpaid but i don't really care because my time could be better spent doing other things (not that i spend it better on other things :( )

Alternative to avoid Hugo's ripoff price:

I drive my car to Fresno with people, leave my car there, and use Richard's 2nd car to go to Norcal while Richard uses his sexy blue car to take 5 of his own people.

This all comes down to Richard's parents saying yes

I can't take my car to Norcal because my parents say NO and they been too nice to me for asian parents so don't want to go against their wishes

LoL I haven't even stated my prices, it shouldn't exceed 30 dollars.

And this is another reason I don't drive to Norcal/SD/Vegas/AZ. This has become a competition, where people criticize others on their prices that are catered to THEIR vehicles. This is simply because those who criticize either don't pay for their own car, their parents are spotting some of the gas, they have no sense for the value of gas/maintenance, or have driven with someone else who shares one of the 3 previous characteristics.

In the words of the wise Pbody "My car doesn't run on friendship"

So what does someone like me get for charging FAIR prices for MY car? Either a bunch of b****ing passengers, or an empty carpool, where I am forced to handle 100% of my own costs when I could have carpooled with someone else. (It has happened before)

I'm not mad, but I'm not gonna risk an empty car unless I have to.
So nevermind. I'm still in dunskies's car.

You can try out your plan johnny. I won't risk people flaking on me.

That is dumb, and it's why some smashers continue to state that people take advantage of your kindness.

Just be fair, even if people don't appreciate it. If not for yourself, then for the people who do need to be fair. Because I've heard smashers' names being called out everytime I charge gas. With them saying things like "_____ doesn't even charge us gas Hugo" or "He only charges me 2 bucks no matter where we go, and you're charging me 7 bucks?".

That **** gets old, and people need to stop acting like transportation is free.

im joking about the "ripoff" prices and I know that any price u charge even if its 45 is probably fair since ur car is not meant for long travelling



My plan isn't even guaranteed because it depends on Richard's parents saying yes. It's simply another choice we have that might work out or not.

and if nothing works out, whatever. Dunskies car is 100% going to be Dunskies, u, Romeo, Lucky, Mango anyways since I actually take teams seriously and want to do good with Oscar but there's no way for both of us to go since u, Lucky, Mango, Dunskies are locks. Romeo is the logical 5th choice.

u also got ****ed by this dum car situation even though san diego was a nub *** tournament so i have no regret on not going

Well if your option doesn't work out on the last minute, then I'll talk to dunskies about the possibility of me taking my car as well.

Yeah then, I'll drive. But my same rules apply.

Be in the valley, pay me before we leave, I'm coming back saturday night.

OH, and the people coming with me are a guarantee as far as they are capable. I don't want McCain to decide to go, then I'm left driving by myself.
I reserve the right to jump back into dunk's car if my driving plans fall through, but it must be an extreme situation, like my car blows out, or everyone bails on me, etc.

We only have 2 spots FYI, dunk was assuming I was taking a full car.

For those who have been in my car, you know precisely why I can't take a full 5 people.

well heres another thing to throw into the mix.


since one of the main reasons a hugo and mango are coming up is to record, theyre going to german's house saturday night i believe to get that **** done, (or sunday night, i dont know yet)

which also means, who ever is in their car will be with them at germans house..

which also means, that mango and hugo should be in the same car, because german cant have 20 people deep at his place (which is his room, not his whole house)

because its not going to be only socal coming over, and if mango and hugo are in different cars, thats 9-10 people from socal + 10 people or so from norcal, and everyone else who tries to tag along and be cool to get to play with us cause were so awesome.


im not trying to be a ****, but we just cant have that many people over at once. and i cant have anyone over at my place either, cause thats how it is.

Mango and I are going in the same car, and could we record on Friday Boback?

And you're not gonna win money again Mango, you're not always gonna have Dunskies there to give you free money.
