Ryan,

Can we safely assume that this post was not lost for a few weeks on
the internet, but rather that you meant to type $4.40 and 4.09 a
gallon? ;^)

I think we can all agree that the price of fuel is fairly immaterial
to people that can afford million dollar coaches. According to the
newest Marathon coach owners magazine, they are still selling well.
The substantial listing of new and repeat owners included names like
Jeff Gordon and Kevin Harvick. Fuel is the least of their issues,
when they have "RVs" just to serve as weekend housing after flying in
on private jets to their weekend job-site! LOL

Last I heard, we have about 20 Birds coming to this weekend's Lone
Star Birds Rally, so we are all learning to adapt to the new
realities, and still enjoy the things we love.
