so as i wasn't stressed enough with all the shit today (my art final project got bumped up by a FULL FUCKING WEEK), some jerk off in a bently decides its cool if he just rolls through a red light.

i mean after all, thats what you pay for when you buy a fucking bently right?

soon after it turns green and i go, only to have the same jerkoff u-turn right in front of a no u-turn sign. no big deal, hes driving a BENTLY! THEN the he decides he was going the right way and u-turns again and is now behind me. hay, whatever works for him. he has money. we end up going to the same parking structure down town (free parking for 2 hours w00t) after manuvering around looking for a spot i see a car screetching around a turn. who could that be? A BENTLY! OH OKAI, I'LL SWERVE OUT OF YOUR WAY AND INTO THIS POLE, BECAUSE YOU ARE BETTER THAN ME I AM SO SORRY FOR DRIVING A 92 DODGE CARAVAN A FAR LESSER VEHICLE. I AM SO SORRY.

Did you hit the pole hard?

You should have let him hit you so you could sue. XD

((Joke))

not as hard as i thought. just seems to have cracked the bumper and left one hell of a scratch (about 3in wide and 7in long).

but there is nooo waaaaay i'd be able to afford the insurance increase if i hit that car.

really, I don't know how some (most) people get their license. They can't fucking drive for shit. There are some fucking retards in my area who just can't drive at all. Trust me, I work at a friggen gas station. you wouldn't believe how some of these assholes drive and park.

That really sucks. I hate those kind of drivers. I've almost been clipped by a few of them & believe me. We got plenty of those dumb fucks in SoCal.

If I had my own country, only about 5% of the population would have a driver's license. That 5% would be the cream of the crop drivers that would actually be able to pass my rigorous slalom, skidpad, & hydroplane test. Then the high speed maneuvering avoidance, written handling dynamics, & braking tests would pretty much eliminate the rest of the crowd. There would be no speed limits, other than a 60 MPH is small residential streets & near schools. This gives a chance for the stupid pedestrians to get out of the road. Pedestrians have no right of way on the road. They're fair game for the drivers. What the fuck is a stupid pedestrian doing in the middle of the fucking road? I have build bridges & tunnels so that you can cross the fucking road! THAT PEDESTRIAN SHOULD DIE! But yeah! They would have complete right of way on the sidewalk & drivers hitting a pedestrian on the sidewalk would face immediate execution. Oh! And there would be a ban on automatic cars too! There would only be 5, 6, & 7-speed manuals for the mother fucking win.

But yeah. I don't think I'll ever own a country. (;o; )

For, me, it would be illegal to commute with cars (only in the city, obviously). Like, for sports and stuff it's fine, or for people who live out in teh sticks, but I just hate people who commute by car. RIDE THE FUCKING BUS IT'S CHEAPER AND FASTER (In Seattle at least, haha).

My dad commutes by car a few times a week, and by bus the rest of the time. When he commutes by bus he's totally chill because he just spent about forty minutes chilling out and reading, but when he commutes by car he's always cranky as fuck when he gets home, because he's just spent forty minutes being cut off.

The problem with buses in Madison is that they take soooo long.

Example, it takes me a half hour to get to work + an extra 15 minutes to get downtown.

My friend lives downtown and takes the bus to work, so it should take 15 minutes to get there, right? Nope, try 45 minutes!

It's ridiculous!

Otherwise, yes I live in the sticks so there's no buses/taxis/the like in my town.

I vote for Gee's plan. Especially the banning automatics part. I think that if everyone drove a stick, that would take care of a lot of problems since a manual makes you have to actually pay attention to what you are fucking doing.

This is true. Automatics are pretty lame.

And Dreamer, if people actually rode the bus I think it would help. More demand = more buses. At least in GPS's capitalist utopia.

Lets run into each other. You on a bike, me in my car.

I'll stick with my car thanks.

Let's compare accident rates of cars to those of bikes. (Remember that driving a car is more dangerous than flying in a plane)

Let's compare how much money you spend on insurance, licensing fees, and gas to how much money I spend on air filling my tires.

Let's compare expensive repair bills to fixing a bike yourself.

Let's compare exercise to lack of exercise.

Although, it is impossible to pick up chicks on a bike. :sad:

Also, I've totally hit cars before and been fine. Cars hitting bicyclists is the real danger :awesome:

Plus, if there's less cars on the road -- what danger is there to bicyclists now?

Now, the range of a bicycle is of course decided by the user -- most people wouldn't want to bike more then 5 miles to work or whatever it is they're going to -- and obviously a car is faster (in a lot of cases -- again, not in Seattle, traffic is a fucking mess here. One time I biked home from downtown, leaving the same time my dad left his work in a car, obviously he works downtown, and I got home first). So they're both appropriate for different situations.

Are there times I wish I had a car? Sure. Would I use it daily, or even weekly? Nope, the bus system and my own bike are too useful, infinitely cheaper, and less dangerous. FOR ME. Obviously other people's needs are going to be different. I can only speak in the context of the two cities I've lived in recently, Seattle and Olympia. In both cases I don't really understand why anyone commutes by car, except that they're scared of biking (which they shouldn't be) and they're too classist/elitist to mingle with the poor people on the bus.

EDIT: By the way, I've had friends who've been hit by cars and got up, fine. Of course there are serious accidents, but I'll stick with my bike still.

okay.

CF, I agree with pretty much everything you said

I will make exceptions for people during the winter (Biking through a blizzard is tons of fun, but you feel like shit afterwards.) I don't know how bad shit gets where you are, but around here, biking in the winter truly sucks.

As for the problem with picking up chicks, sad, but true.

Yeah, in Seattle it snows maybe twice a year, and it's never very extreme. Just very pretty, haha.

It's practically safer to ride on a plane than a donkey. Planes are the safest main mode of transportation mankind has. Well, maybe aside from not going anywhere in general, but that could be bad for your health as well. :awesome:

But yea, Gee's plan For the Win

I was just using that as an example because people are all like "WELL IDK I DONT WANT TO GET IN A PLANE IT MIGHT CRASH." I'm aware that planes are super-safe.
