I did not see anything on the Porsche in the site. Just a WRX with SnowTrax. Notice they took it in the shop after a short run. The SnowTrax are a maintenance nightmare. wanna good laugh? Gore Denies He Is Profiting From Global Warming Big Liar

Replying to: steve_ (Nov 03, 2009 7:33 am) We have a friend that her mini van died and she cannot afford another vehicle. She has been riding the bus to her little shop in Alpine. She absolutely hates it. The body odors of the homeless she can live with. The fellow throwing up in the aisle of the bus was horrible. Not to mention the people coughing, sneezing and spreading germs all over everyone. I am so thankful I have never been put into a situation like that. Public transit is just an extension of the Urban Cesspools we have created in this country. Driving across America, we saw millions of acres that are uninhabited and unused. We need to spread out more. Tear down the big cities and send people out in the country. |

Replying to: gagrice (Nov 03, 2009 7:47 am) You are again reflecting an old stereotype of public transit that apparently will not die. The VAST majority of riders do NOT experience what is happening to your friend. |

Replying to: larsb (Nov 03, 2009 9:18 am) I've described the racism and mental health issues my children experienced riding the bus so it's not all flowers and cupcakes as you would wish to believe. A local car dealer has taken advantage of this perception in his car ads. He touts the benefit of getting away from the "germs and the creepy guy" on the bus as a reason to buy his cars.

Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Nov 03, 2009 9:26 am) But neither is it only homeless, stinky vomiting disease-ridden fleabags. Both are irrational exaggerations. |

Replying to: gagrice (Nov 03, 2009 6:49 am) Why we wouldn't suspect that there's any political influence here do we?  Just another great example of legalized-stealing, which makes any organized-crime ventures pale in comparision. If there's any Robin Hoods out there, feel free to go after the Gore-type people of the world. If I'm on the jury, you'll get a "Not-guilty" from me. |
