yeah, i do know, because i had to pay it. that's bullshit.

MellySingsDoom 08.13.2008 03:02 AM

...and the "joke" is that the Congestion Charge has done fuck all to ease any congestion, as I'm sure you would have seen driving (or more accurately crawling) through the streets of London.

I take it you hire cars for when you travel outside of NYC to see gigs etc?

Cantankerous 08.13.2008 03:04 AM

we borrowed a car that belongs to julian's mate. absolutely ridiculous the traffic is in london, it's worse than in new york by far.

MellySingsDoom 08.13.2008 03:08 AM

Did you find the thing of pedestrians walking around randomly onto the roads and not getting out of the damn way? That really pisses me off as a cyclist.

Cantankerous 08.13.2008 03:09 AM

yes. i had my hand on the horn the entire time.

never again.

al shabbray 08.13.2008 04:26 AM

drive your car in amsterdam and you know what the hell of roads is. tiny streets for a bigger city, and so many bicycles you wouldnt see ever again
and the bycicles got vorfahrt ever!

gmku 08.13.2008 08:15 AM

My other car is a rather ordinary Lexus sedan.

Ho hum....

I ride the bus. This is not photoshopped- this city is desperate enough to put pictures of The Beatles on their buses.

 

floatingslowly 08.13.2008 09:07 AM

it gets lousy LYPG, but it gets me "there".

 



&the chicks dig it.

MellySingsDoom 08.13.2008 09:08 AM

Nice, floatingslowly - have you got customised bass bins in it for that lowrider feel/effect?

floatingslowly 08.13.2008 09:20 AM

lowriders are for cholos.

I'm a highrider.

but yes, it has Betelgeusian CacaPhony woofers. 25" ultra low .5 Hz response.

sadly, when I drive by, humans mistake me for mating whales (and by that, I mean, I also have a 7' penis).

terriblecanyons 08.13.2008 09:21 AM

I have a red ford fuckus.
Nothing worth posting a picture of.

MellySingsDoom 08.13.2008 09:22 AM

floatingslowly - Damn those pesky humans, no taste at all. So does your ride have up-to-the dates digital downloading thingies for your choons, or like us earthlings, do you have to put up with MP3 players that keep breaking down?

floatingslowly 08.13.2008 09:30 AM

no need for downloads.

my library already contains the entire database of not only yr civilization, but 3 others in the nearby cluster (and 2 that have been extinct since Galacafractaculous IV blew up [oh, what a day. huh?]).

I applied for one of those but they turned me down because apparently I didn't live at the address I live at? or something. But I still get 20p discount with my college ID card.

EMMAh 08.13.2008 12:49 PM

We have three cars at my house. A Chevy Malibu, a Cutlass Supreme, and a Honda Civic.

We actually just got the Honda, inherited it from my great aunt. The Cutlass is crap ass, but my dad is driving it til it dies than he'll use the Malibu.

I can't drive though, so their not my cars. I walk, beg for rides and bus.

Danny Himself 08.13.2008 01:01 PM

My mum drives one of these;

 



And my dad drives a Peugeot:

 



My sister drives a beat-up Ford Fiesta thats always falling apart:

 



Also does anybody name their cars? My dad names his after pop stars. He used to drive a blue Rover called 'Britney' before he totaled it and bought 'Shakira'. My sister's car is called 'Nev' and once he had to go to car hospital.

EMMAh 08.13.2008 01:03 PM

Your dad likes Britney and Shakira? Or does he just have a weird sens eof humor?

I don't name my cars, but I bet if i had my own I'd think of something weird to call it.

You know, my friend has a sail boat with no name. I found that weird.

al shabbray 08.13.2008 01:04 PM

I sometimes called my marbella "marb"...how creative I know, but his behavior was kinda marb-alike

davenotdead 08.13.2008 01:06 PM

i used to drive one of these, it wasn't mine, and it wasn't safe, which may be why my parents didn't want to drive it, so i was default... i think i called it "annabell", it just seemed to fit...
i almost died in this car like 3 times, and all at the same stop sign... i would punch the gas, and it would go 10 feet and then stall...
 


EDIT__but it wasn't a convertible... i used this pic cuz it was the same color

He has a weird sense of humour. Hopefully. I think he has the first Shakira album but I'm probably mistaken, it might be one of my stereotypically gay uncles. Apparently he's naming his next car after Nelly Furtado.

One of my uncles has a sailboat that he gets drunk / has barbecues on. Once he saved a bunch of stranded people in a dinghy when he drunkenly answered a SOS call.

al shabbray 08.13.2008 01:43 PM

you seem to have a pretty entertaining family

Cantankerous 08.13.2008 01:43 PM

I had one of those, but I left it too close to a space heater and one whole side melted.

For the most part. A lot of them are real dicks when they want to be and theres a few I've had to excommunicate.

greenlight 08.13.2008 02:15 PM

I'd like to have it in black colour. this one has steering wheel on right hand side coz I live in Ireland at the mom. took me whole day use to drive on the other side.

demonrail666 08.13.2008 02:16 PM

I want to learn to drive, just so I can have one of these bastards.
 

nicfit 08.13.2008 02:24 PM

 

almost identical.

al shabbray 08.13.2008 02:27 PM

that was my second car, in white...hrhrhr
first a marbella in black and than a panda in white.
but I prefer the marbella all over the panda, that thing was badass in so many ways.
