A little off topic, I know, but I drive a 2003 Honda Accord with a six-speed transmission. Never getting rid of this car; they're going to bury me in it.

I drive an '01 Acura Integra GS-R and I feel the same -- They're going to have to bury me in that car. Even last year, I (twice) had random people pull up next to me at a stoplight and ask if I was interested in selling it. Always the same answer, though -- Nope. I love my little 5sp.

A lot of people (at least from what I've gleaned from the ADN comments section), consider the LNG to be a pipe dream with little chance of actually being profitable. Last I knew of, there weren't any signed buyers for it. There was that Chinese company at one point, but they never actually committed so far as I know.

Yeah, it comes from investment earnings off of the fund itself. Initially it was funded from oilfield royalties and instead of letting the politicians just have their way with it, most people were all "yeah ... that's a bad idea" and added an amendment to Alaska's constitution to set it up as a fund for all current and future residents.

And holy balls are the mid-terms between the two main gubernatorial candidates, Begich & Dunleavy, all nutballs crazy over what to do (and keep doing) with it.
