Tim Smart Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I'm riding a 50cc scooter around Auckland, New Zealand atm. Traffic is highly annoying here and petrol is so expensive! Pictures will come soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonTheSavage Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Usually, one has to have a license to ride a Dirt Bike on the road. But not in Mississippi. It gets about 80mpg, does 70 top end, and can go wherever I want it to. EDIT: In a small town where people ride ATVs around, none of the cops care.

killbot1000 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Black 2002 Honda Accord (V6, dual exaust, fully loaded). Soon to have my electrolyzer inside. And Busses, BIG MF'ing Busses! Every half hour everyday, NEVER late! I wish we had that here. I would use it. Public transportation in most of the USA is a big joke. Here's how it is in WA state:If you live near seattle, every bus goes to seattle, none come back, every 2 hours or so.The town I live in (20 min from the canadian border). Bellingham, it has public transportation, but only until about 9pm. It is getting better all the time, but it still has a tiny ways to go. Also, gas is about $4.75/gallon up here. 3 weeks ago it was 3.90. I think America has some hard times ahead of it, especially in the way of gas prices hehe.

We are paying around €1.55 a liter (that is about $2.40 a liter!!!) (In case you are wondering, that is $9 a gallon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Marvin Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Here's mine: It only costs me about £10 a month (I hardly ever go anywhere ) and I can take all my friends and family too! I love how this is turning into a "Your Bus" thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro17 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 When I lived in Amsterdam I didn't have a car, I didn't need one. But I need one here. There are supposed to be local buses, but only till noon (I have never seen one). If you want to go to other towns, the buses all leave from a place which is far away for many, they take twice the time it would take by car, they don't run in the evening... We don't have trains either. In Leeds I needed a car too. For instance, if I wanted to go to the local Asda, I had to go to the city center and from there to Asda. With other words, I'd spend half a day on buses for about 5 miles by direct route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Running With Scissors Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Where I live the is at least 12 different routes in my town and the major routes have buses every 10 minutes. So the isn't a need for a car, if i go somewhere else I will get a train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embio Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Marvin - I was about to refute your point about friends and family, when I remembered I don't let them in my car.... off topic - did you hear about the woman who got on a Stagecoach bus, and the driver said it was company policy to not accept Scottish notes? She had to run back to the office and get it changed. (that looks like the worst punchline ever, but I read it the other day) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(that looks like the worst punchline ever, but I read it the other day) Scottish notes aren't actually legal tender, although they are widely accepted. Top tip: stick to English notes (especially the new £20 note, that looks amazing!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running With Scissors Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I prefer this quote. There’s one thing I know I'd like to live long enough to savour,That’s when they finally put you in the ground, I’ll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down. Not long now though.

I can't wait for the day the US switches to something that works better, the metric system haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
