think about it rationally though, unless inui has a huge *** trunk, we all have our luggage as well... and another person + cat for 8 hours...
its gonna be just as hard on the animal. The best thing the owner of the cat can do for you guys is;

1.Bathe n brush the cat a day prior to the trip

2. Feed it very light, non heavy cat food. BRING WATER!!!

3. blanket and a carrier/toy for it

4. depending on the type of cat it might need a mild sedative to help keep it calm during the trip. Its also recommended it gets it shots before any trip.

Ive been on an air plane trip before and two people near me had very small dogs in their carry-ons. N these carry ons were like duffle bags with screens on them with a toy blanket inside. The top could be un zipped too. Also had pockets on it.

I already have his travel stuff/protocol set up. But thanks for the advice.

For free is crazy, Lucas. I'd rather pay than be indebted someone, personally.

You wouldn't be indebted. The feeling of saving you a lot of money and being nice is more than good enough for me. :)

If nobody in Doom's carpool will contribute anything and can honestly sit there and ride on the cash of someone that needs money a lot more, I will gladly take you for much less to prevent that gayness. They clearly do not understand the pressure of having to pay bills, move, find a job or be broke, etc., which is all stuff I did in the last year that cost me a lot of money and I still pay bills.

Edit: Basically, I completely understand your situation since I've been there, have genuine care for your wellbeing, and disapprove of what Doom and the others are doing regardless of you being okay with it. I have absolutely no money issues due to having a job, being able to win money in Smash, and having semi-wealthy grandparents that let me live with them for free and gave me a car. I'm more than willing to help friends less fortunate than I, as I've done for many years for many friends.

That was Ether's plan, actually.
And Izumi ended up eating it. o.o



I'm a person of my word, so I will not back out now. Thank you, though, Lucas. <3

My respect for everyone in Doom's carpool has plummetted to absolute 0.

How they can sit there and ride on Kaila's cash when they don't need money and she clearly does is simply beyond me.

I'm sorry you got stuck with that nonsense before you could get into an actual fair carpool without greedy kids in it. My offer still stands.

The best option would be for them to contribute.

Yeah dawg, I should have to contribute money AND 24 hours of driving + potential harm to my car! Good plan, chap.

Small contribution wouldn't be bad, though. Baby Z, how much you wanna donate to this pot?

Inui of all people to be *****ing about cash whenever I drove you I got gipped on gas money FROM you (and Atomsk)

Of ALL people in this community that has been generous to driving people around and that is me. I don't charge much at all.

And Inui, if you didn't notice, if someone offers you something and you refuse, it is also insulting to not accept it as "it is not a worthy gift" or something along those lines.

Also with carspace...Me+Atomsk+NinjaLink+Ally in 1 car to MD/VA was already packed like sardines with bags and luggage, like uncomfortable. You guys really have to think about bags and stuff and TV's when going to trips like this

Kaila, what you're not understanding is that the entire purpose of my bold offer wasn't to get you into my carpool, but to give you leverage for forcing the people in your carpool to contribute in some way since you're being offered a much cheaper option. Be a little smarter in terms of looking out for yourself and stand up for yourself a bit more; just explain to them that your offer wasn't that smart and that you can't really afford paying for all of them.

Yeah dawg, I should have to contribute money AND 24 hours of driving + potential harm to my car! Good plan, chap.

It is. Your financial situation is much better than hers and she is supposedly a friend of yours so you should want to be nice. You should contribute fairly to the trip, and you're not the only one in the car with a license, so you don't have to do all of the driving. Wear and tear is easily made up for with the formula I provided.

Small contribution would be cool. Making her pay for all of you is crazy and greedy and I can't believe all of you were okay with it and going to do it. If you went through with it without a second thought, regardless of her offering, I probably would have stopped talking to you people since you're showing your true colors imo.

Inui of all people to be *****ing about cash whenever I drove you I got gipped on gas money FROM you (and Atomsk)
Huh?

Of ALL people in this community that has been generous to driving people around and that is me. I don't charge much at all.
My generosity is extended towards those either truly in need, good friends of mine, or both, and you are neither. Sorry?

Don't compare my generosity to yours. I bet I've given more to my sister's family in TX than you've given to everyone combined in your whole life, lol.

And Inui, if you didn't notice, if someone offers you something and you refuse, it is also insulting to not accept it as "it is not a worthy gift" or something along those lines.
She made that offer in order to guarantee a ride, not to be some saint giving a nice gift to some ungrateful kids.

Also with carspace...Me+Atomsk+NinjaLink+Ally in 1 car to MD/VA was already packed like sardines with bags and luggage, like uncomfortable. You guys really have to think about bags and stuff and TV's when going to trips like this
My car is bigger than yours. My trunk is massive. The back seat is several inches larger in all areas than most cars. Do I have to post the descriptions again?

Yup, pretty much. You even complained about last weekend when I contributed for half of the trip myself. I offered and can afford it...but Kaila is not as fortunate as I. Try to be considerate of her situation.

Inui, she's an adult. She can make her own decisions. The offer was made a month prior to the event...pretty sure she had time to think it over and secure a ride. "I'll pay a considerable sum of money for a seat in the car plus the burden of my cat and his stuff" =/= "HELP I'M SCREWED I'LL GIVE YOU A MILLION DOLLARS I DON'T HAVE"

Cool.

You're still a big piece of poop for going along with it given that your financial situation is way better than hers.

I sincerely hope you people contribute to the trip and don't make her pay for all of it, otherwise...

why is everyone arguing

sure a lot of what inui is saying is right and some lame stuff is goin on
but when it comes down to it people can and should make their own decisions and if kaila wants to go with doom and pay $50 or w/e is going on then so be it. i would hope doom is respectable enough to at least decline the offer and offer something a little less, but it's w/e (tbh I wouldn't be that fond of driving a cat around for 8 hours lol), and doesn't really concern inui.

either way, inui stop goin so hard at trying to find another person for the carpool. we have 5 ppl for a 5 seat car. even if we can just about fit a 6th person in the back, let the people in the back have a little room to themselves, it's a long ride. sure it doesnt matter to us 2 since we're permanent front seat, but the people in the back are people as well lol. if i was in back i personally wouldn't want to have a 4th person + cat, nothing against kaila. we would each only save $5 if another person came along which really isnt much at all so who cares. iv made over $5 at work today just from time spent reading this thread and typing this post lol.

I just said my entire intent was to give Kaila a bargaining chip, not get her into my carpool. Did you miss that? Try reading my posts.

Kaila isn't paying $50. She's paying for the entire car ride for everyone in the car with them not contributing a cent. That is absurd, and the fact that they are all okay with it given knowledge of Kaila's financial situation is gross to me.

I'm way too much like my father and grandmother to be able to stomach that ****.

Before it should be some stuff where you were unhappy with the amount even knowing I'd be paying a lot... I think. Sometimes I am wrong.

Yes, and I'm more than "mad salty" about it.

He should.

lol

No. You know I don't drop things and locking my thread won't change a thing; I'll bring it up right to your face at MLG. Just contribute like a fair person and have everyone do so please.

I already told you.

Trip: 980 miles
Gas: ~2.40-2.85
Hihway mileage: 26

I charged for 1,000 miles, 3.00 gas, 20 MPG.

So...

1,111 miles
$2.80 gas (maybe more down south and certainly more at rest stops, so $2.80-$3.20)
Highway mileage: 20

Time to charge at 1200 miles, $3.20 gas, and 15 MPG.

$256 roundtrip...yeah. As opposed to the $155.54 normally.

Yeah, that sounds fair, but what you should do is take off the cost, including the miles, of going into NYC and charge Kaila for that separately, and then charge the rest based on that formula, which looks pretty fair. It takes into account the wear and tear, which is namely to tires, brakes, and oil, the oil being super cheap anyways.

Just don't make her pay for all of you. We all know, including her, that her offer was crazy. I don't care if she's okay with it; I'm fine with protecting people from themselves even against their own will. She's sticking with your carpool out of a sense of obligation because she's a good person, but don't pretend that you all NEED her money to get there and can't make a contribution to the trip at all.

I don't have a card to buy premium with. My debit card arrives either sometime during Raleigh or after I come home.

There isn't anything wrong with a friend intervening.... that's what friends are for. Kaila is an adult but so is Inui. If she WANTS to pay for everyone with her situation that's on her, at least Inui gave her the option of being a bit smarter, financially.

And again, I'm sorry for dropping, I just didn't know we would go that far LOL and I usually get payed fridays so I didn't know what to do. ;-;

But I'm glad your car is almost full.
