that guy probably drives the single most polluting vehicle in his county!!!!! some old Piece of shit with no exhaust muffler and oil burning constantly.

I love bicycles. I need a bicycle again. (I had one which got stolen from my house during a burglary)

when I was 13-18 I had a red schwinn ten speed, and it was nigh indestructible. I would ride that shit everywhere, ramp it, jump over bayous with it, race other kids and shit. I must have patched the inner tubes at least 10 times. It was a mighty mighty bike. I once rode with no hands at all from my house to the library, about 2.5 miles away, making all the turns and shit.

Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to come across like a prick there. And I'm totally on board with the phone thing. I've had the same piece of crap Nokia bog-standard 0 megapixel for 5 or 6 years now, and it's fine for my purposes. I spend about a fiver on credit a month and that's fine for me.

My housemate got a car recently, and he's very quickly fallen into the trap of those little five-minute drives down to the shops/ dropping people off places... it takes a lot of will-power to not give in to the temptation, and I'd much rather the temptation simply wasn't there. The cost soon clocks up. The only problem is it limits my local gig ability - there are a few little towns nearby that I simply can't play due to rubbish public transport.

In L.A. is a necessity to do the 5 minute thing.

There is a primary school at the end of my road. It is not a long road. It take me, literally*, 2 minutes and 30 seconds to walk down. There is a woman, who is fat, who lives approximately 45 seconds up the road, who EVERY SINGLE MORNING drives her children, who are fat and about 7 or 8, to this school. Every time I see her I feel so very sorry for her children. It must take her a good 3 minutes longer to do it like that than just send them to walk on their own. I can understand that some people think it's quicker to drive everywhere, but she'll sit in the traffic near the bottom of the road with her little 'uns in the back rather than walk the fuckers.

I just want her stabbed and her children taken into care. Seriously.


*I get very annoyed by people using the word 'literally' as an intensifier - so this is a proviso that I do really mean literally. Incidentally, someone at work recently said "They were tearing their hair out, literally!" to which I said "But they weren't literally tearing their hair out, were they?" and she said, "Yeah, they were literally tearing their hair out". I pointed out again that they weren't actually, physically, with their actual hands, tearing their hair out" and she said, "No, they were literally tearing their hair out". Now everytime I talk to her I amuse myself by saying "I'm literally standing here" and she looks confused. The irony being that, although I'm using the literally entirely superfluously, I am using it more correctly than she does. What a cunt [I am] eh?

Atari 2600 said sarramkrop was "literally" a cocksucker and that I was a figurative one.
I've been called worse.

so i dont know. although i m pacing towards 40 and i m not as short as people have implying here, i think i would look just silly in one of them cars. maybe im just not used to the such images of me. to widen this, similar thing happes to me with certain eyeglasses.
i dont think its sexuality issues, i ve come in terms with that.

rather than insecurity about your looks i think it has more to do with fearing to be perceived by others as pretentious or ostentatious.

that's normal and probably a good thing.

i dont drive i metroooooo

1989 Toyota Corolla, she purrrrrs. But the price of gas makes me think she won't be purring much longer.

[Cantankerous]

i take the subway but i have a car sitting in the garage at my mothers house

that car being a 78 nova that looks something like this one except it's a different colour

 

that's what you get when you total two cars in a year.

[screamingskull]

man thats a beautiful colour for a car, If i had a car i'd want it to be that colour, or Burnt Orange.

I don't drive, don't have a license, don't ever intend to. ever.
