Some ghetto-azzed ***** downtown are sucking gas outta people's cars!

The newspaper said there have been at least 20 people go into the ERs for sucking/swallowing gas... Friggen *****

My car's parked on the street, luckily no one sucked gas outta mine!

Thankfully my tank was on low fuel for the entire Thursday and Friday

You could have sucked like 1 liter out of there.

I topped up yesterday @ 71.9... @ Islington & Rexdale...
They were giving away SURPREME gas @ REGULAR price cuz they were out of silver and regular!

I topped up all 3 cars in the family!

i dont think HID would have done that much of a difference out on a pitch black road.
i was with my buddy in a cooper S with HID on his ride and man, it barely made any difference at all.

It was very freaky driving in the dark. Luckily the traffic situation and driving conditions in Barrie werent as bad as they were in the GTA. Me and my girlfriend hung out at a friends backyard patio with some torches and candles lit. Had a couple of flaming zambuca shooters and then drove home along the waterfront to look at the stars. The moon was very bright and we saw mars too. Wicked. The sky was beautiful.
Its amazing how important it is to have power though!

yeah it was freaky driving around with no lights everywhere. Got power the next morning around 7:00am Friday, as per my Dad.
I actually enjoyed not having any power, when we were driving around my friend had his system blasting... I turned it off!! How often do you get some peace and quiet around town... NEVER!
