HOW!!!! i can take a 100 mile trip (2 hours) and only use like 1/4 of a tank of gas....thats like 10 dollars! and a meal would be ten bucks!

so if i made a 5 hour trip id spend like 100 there and back! lol


is gas expensive there? its like 2.50 a gallon here....

bhcaaron

Gas here is an average of 2.70 probably. It would have to be my dad's truck, which is a small 8 cyl, but, an 8cyl nevertheless. Phoenix is not that far away if you would drive straight there, however, there are many twists and turns and mountainous regions to go to. Coming back through all that with added weight wont help either. I wouldn't want to make a trip there and back, though my dad would love it. Even if don't stay over night, that would still be three meals for two. Breakfast and lunch would be twenty some dollars each plus twenty percent tip. Dinner would be thirty or fourty some plus tip. Gas would end up being, probably, one hundred there and one fifty back. Guestimating here (you know how I like to over guesstimate, but, even if you take fifty dollars off and add tank cost... OUCH! I'd almost rather pay freight.)

leximommy

lol ok well tell me this.....

flagstaff / sedona
phoenix
prescott
tucson
yuma

are you close enough to any of these?

Allie

I would put a little more of what we have in our 120g...someday my bf is turning the 120g into a salty. When we aren't living in an apartment and have our own house, then we'll have the space for all the tanks we want.
Good luck on your auction.

leximommy

allie what do you have in your 120?

bhcaaron

Yuma isn't the closest, but, we drive through often enough on our way to Mexico. If I don't go myself, there is ALWAYS a family member going, like weekly. With the inadequecy of my medical insurance, I have been recently forced to go to our family doctors in Mexico. So I'll be going more frequently.

bhcaaron

And Allie, as of yesterday I lost the bid. Though it isn't quite over yet. But, I don't want ot get my hopes up again.

leximommy

well aaron just remember dont loose hope, even if you lose this tank you will find one... i mean h*ll you have until you get the rest of the stuff right....lol

bhcaaron

No... Tank first. Remember? Picky me. Besides, from what I've been seeing, 180G bow front acrylic for $880-890 isn't that expensive (by comparison that is)

leximommy

HAH! give me 800 and ill get my tank up and running....-with all my equipment! lol well, i guess well just have to work on finding you a tank then wont we lol....

bhcaaron

Yup! However, I think the emphasis of the word WE lands more one the LexiMommy part of the cyllable

leximommy

bhcaaron

I hope its more of the chocolate and less of the laughing... if the laughin means "you need WHAT!?" lol ahahaha

leximommy

bhcaaron
