cars and gas

I have only had my car for like 6 months and I've already gotten two rock chips in it...both of which are right in my line of vision...well, one slightly to the left and one down...but both on my side!!!

The crazy thing about the second one is that I swear I was nowhere near anything that could be springing rocks at me...all of the sudden just, BANG...what was that...and oh, there's a chip. Come on people, what's up with that!!!

But today I also noticed that gas has jumped up a whopping 10 cents a gallon. I look down at my gas gauge and guess what? I just filled up like...yesterday I think. It's kinda weird, but I've had really good luck on getting awesome gas deals. When the prices were dropping like crazy, I got in the habit of only filling half-way up so that the gas price would be significantly different and I'd be able to partake of the better price at a better price. Now, I'm sure that all evens out somehow but hey, it made me feel thrifty. I do admit that going to the gas station twice as many times was slightly inconvenient but not much because I pass my normal gas station every day. But there was one day, when gas prices seemed to be steadying that I thought...what the heck, I'll fill all the way up.

Guess what happened the next day? You got it, the price went up again.

I considered myself pretty lucky...and still do, since it seemingly keeps happening again and again and again.
