With the money this dude is saving on gas, he can keep his job at The Pirate Cove and marry his dream girl who defaulted on some old credit cards!

After finding this site about a month ago, I bought 2 Metros this month.
$5oo for th '90, and $1000 for the '95 2 days ago. I feel lucky as the price has been getting higher every day, people don't seem to buy one, they buy two or three.
