There are over seven billion people in this world and billions more have lived and died since Porsche has been around.

It probably happened at some point.

Even if you got $8,000 off a "$14,000" car, you still didn't get a $7,000 car. There are too many taxes and fees on a new car.

I am surprised that anyone ever paid $7,000 for an apostrophe. I was stuck in a rental once and, in retrospect, it made my Mirage rental look almost as good as a Honda.

Who the heck says a Honda costs as much as a...weird little car?! I constantly see twenty year-old Hondas and not just in my driveway.

Where are the twenty year-old Hyundais?

Whatever. This thread is about bike pumps, not cars with Hs.

I drove down to Phoenix for work. Unfortunately, I am losing money on this, not to mention the weekend. I ran across my bike bump, but forgot to check my tires. I only got 38 MPG. I hate to think how much gas I waste if I am 5 - 10 PSI below sidewall maximum, although maybe when it is 113° I should give myself some cushion.
