Fetching Propane

Now that we own a car, we want to keep our feet on the ground and not get all showbiz.

For that reason we like to still use our trusting sidekick "El Cojo" [or in Gringo speak: El Co-Ho] for most things...including getting propane.

Is it dangerous...probably.

It is fun...definitely.

Is it expensive...absolutely not.

The roads being more chassis-smashing potholes (and potbumps*) than actual road means that having the tank rattling round the back of a car is probably actually more of a health risk than taking it on a 90cc motorbike.

Plus, there's nothing like having 5 gallons of propane strapped to you to keep it real and give you that good old fashioned buzz.

*potbump: an inverted pothole. Normally created by over filling existing potholes. It doesn't solve anything, but it adds a delightful upward variation to general jiggling / bouncing / smashing / spine crushing.
According to third world logic, any tire misaligned by a pothole is immediately re-aligned by the following potbump - therefore theoretically and taken on average, all roads in the Dominican Republic are perfectly level.
