Here are some more pics. Bought the matts also. Now I gotta work on the engine. Anyone know someone in Houston that can clean up my 305 and make it run better? i drive it 65 miles a day but i want a little more power. It boggs down sometimes. Ive done a full tune up but still needs something.

Any ideas you guys can give me would really help. I got a low budget and these gas prices just made it lower. 60= miles a day is killing me!

Looks wayyyy better!! very clean!

BTW, what is gas prices down there in Houston? Hovering the $3.00-3.50 per gallon? if so... you GOT NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT. Up in Canada we are currently paying $1.00-1.20 per litre.... which equates to $3.80-4.50 per US gallon. Diesel is the same price (which honestly makes no sence because it's cheaper to make).

We're one of the worlds largest producers and exporters of energy... I have no idea why our prices are so darn high compared to US. So... SUCK UP THAT GAS WHILE PRICES ARE LOW!!!! lol

(...isn't it sad when I wish I was only paying what you are?)

oooo Alaska is even worse for prices since most of it is so remote.... lol good luck with the move!

lol I didn't even consider the exchange rate!!! That means up in Canada we're paying $3.90-4.62 US$ per gallon!! (at todays rate of $1.03) OUCH! Anyway, enough about fuel prices, I'm going to still pay it to drive my truck! ....I'll just drive like a grandma.

(It's not my fault my grandma drives fast...)

Yeah BC has absolutely outrageous fuel prices...so does Saskatchewan. Alberta is cheaper, but not far behind! You guys in the US have nothing to complain about yet!!!

As far as the scooter... try driving through the snow and ice with that thing 4 months out of the year, then slush and mud for another 2 months out of the year! Up here you need 4X4's!!! They don't call Alberta the truck/hillbilly capital of Canada for nothing! lol ...commuting the 40+kms to work would suck on that thing too... but you would look SUPER cool!:metal:

Man, I wish gas prices were the same here as in the US.

holy moly!! yeah come to think of it when I was in Paris, the petrol prices were sky high... I almost wanted to assume it was "per gallon" because I couldn't imagine paying that per litre.

I stand corrected. Us in North America have nothing to complain about. It could be ALOT worse. I'm going to now suck up that fuel while prices are so cheap! lol (it's all in the perspective)
