Good point. At first, I agreed with the 3 way split, but then A talked about the car's wear and tear, which I said would have happened anyway, and then I agreed to ask the internet.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I'm with the party that says A was going anyway and could have spent the entire $45 on gas, or the $15 A spent since they spilt the ride.

I agree that A needs to drop the matter.
oh, yes. I agreed to ask the internet so he would stop whining about it. I told him what's done is done, but he wants the "vindication" of being right. Which I understand. But, the internet has clearly said that he's wrong :)

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
but then A talked about the car's wear and tear
Oh, good lord. Richmond to D.C.? Isn't that like a three-hour round trip? Over the lifetime of the car?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I agree with those who say that splitting it three ways seems reasonable and expected.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
in completely different news, I stumbled across the online news for my college (and its brother school). One "crime" report read:
THERE IS A SUSPICIOUS WHITE MALE WALKING AROUND IN A BATHROBE AND CARRYING A LIGHT SABER. ALL UNITS CLEAR AT 0148 HOURS. UNIT 54 SPOKE WITH THE COMPLAINANT AND EVERYTHING IS OK AT THIS TIME
Yup - I came here naturally.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

It's longer than that -- at least two or two and a half hours each way -- but still small compared to the lifetime of the car.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
A talked about the car's wear and tear
Unless he's towing them in a trailer behind his car, the passengers aren't causing *more* of that.
which I said would have happened anyway
YEAH

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I hate to be the driver -- one tank of gas seems a good price to me .
However, if I was the driver and it was where I was going - 5 bucks would have been cool

Thereabouts. I think that I agreed with A because I would have chipped in for half of the gas, but I'm sort of craxy about making it as easy as possible for people to do me favors. Probably comes from dealing with Mom :)
