I am going to be a trooper because they have a big gun and they point it at bad guys and then the bad guys stop moving and in the distance an orphaned baby cries
Yo, @Jacobkosh, you and someone else were discussing what to do for ToR creation. I'mma be making a Jedi Knight on the Canderous Ordo server, and a Sith Inquisitor on The Twin Spears server.
Living where a car is not necessary right up until public transport stops or fails during mid Winter. Like Christmas Day, when I have to get across town. I'm going to have to borrow a bike
Well, I would still want to own a car... just would like to be able to hop the bus/train/whatever to work and the grocery store and stuff.
I'd like to have a car just in case, but it would only be useful once or twice a month outside of inter city travel. It would be more effort that it would save going shopping. Plus owning/parking a car in Central London is pretty expensive, far more than I could justify given the strong possibility of infrequent use.
Yeah, in my perfect world, I'd have a house with a garage and easy bus/train/etc access but the cost of living would be super low :P
If I could convince the wife to move into a condo downtown I we could live off of one car just fine, and rarely use it.
However a condo would cost roughly 3 times what we'd pay for a nice house, so that's kind of a bad idea in the long run.
Move to San Diego. There are condo's on sale down there cheaper than most of the surrounding area's homes. It isn't until you get out into the boondocks east county where prices level back out.
First car was a Fiero that burst into flames while I was driving it.
After that, an 88 Nissan Sentra boxmobile.
Then a Ford Galaxy minivan.
Then we moved overseas and I drove a Rover of some type, a sedan.
Moved back, a 92 Toyota Camry and a 2003 Honda Odyssey
Now, the Honda and a 2009 Nissan Versa hatchback.
At least the Fiero had common decency to commit suicide due to the shame of being a Fiero.
:^: My buddy had one in high school, loved to brag about it having a Ferarri engine.
What the hell? It definitely did not have the engine from a Ferarri in it. It had a shitty GM 4 cylinder.
I remember him opening up the rear hatch one time to show me, and I do remember it indeed having a red valve cover, but I suspect someone had either put an aftermarket valve cover on it, or it was the V6 version that had red valve covers. At any rate he was a notorious bullshitter, so I just smiled and nodded my head. In true Fiero fashion, they could never even get it to run anyway.
That was the best car, aside from the fact you've got to get a new transmission about every 40K miles.
It was a 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse though. Dodge went through that phase where they were rebadging anything Mitsubishi made.
not quite.... The Eagle Talon, Mitsubishi Eclipse, and Plymouth Laser were all the same car with slightly different front air dams made at Diamond Star motors. It was a joint venture between Chrysler and Mitsubishi to launch some cheaper sporty alternatives to the dodge "fast car" line. They did the same thing with the 3000GT and the Dodge Stealth.
It wasn't really rebadging, but Dodge was relying heavily on Mitsubishi for the tech. It was all built in the US though.
DSM is actually still making Mitsubishi cars, but far less... According to wikipedia they only made like 40K cars in 2010.

I dunno if they have these in other countries, but in the US we have hourly car rental services. It's a little expensive, but it's cheaper than parking in the city, and you don't need to have personal car insurance.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

yeah thats my point
HP's new logo
:^: My buddy had one in high school, loved to brag about it having a Ferarri engine.
It was pretty spectacular, honestly. A worse disaster you could hardly script.

I like it
because I hate HP
No way. That's just the same logo but with the white and black reversed!
All I see are two middle fingers.
However a condo would cost roughly 3 times what we'd pay for a nice house, so that's kind of a bad idea in the long run.
The next tsunami to hit the world is the Boomer tsunami.
I am a community health care worker, my people have been prophesying this doom for, like, since the 70's.
Btw, if you need a job, we are short staffed. Or become a real nurse. Or anything to do with keeping people alive.
That was the best car, aside from the fact you've got to get a new transmission about every 40K miles.
Yeah I was going to say, they're finally being truthful in the logo.
Or become a serial killer of the elderly.
Or, well, both. They usually go hand in hand with those professions.

I was just thinking the same thing.
HP: Fuck your printing needs, by another cartridge #45, bitch!
Helping these leeches on society stay alive seems counter to my interests
Engine swap outs are super common for Fieros. But the stock engines for it were GM engines. That liked to catch fire sometimes.
You know, so I could report it for being oarsome.
Fiero: Not just a clever name.
You should feel ashamed for this.

when everyone's too fucking lazy to go anywhere
my aunt walks downstairs, goes 'mmm, i'm craving cereal'
pours out a bowl, looks and discovers we're out of milk, goes FUUUUUUCK
her: i guess i can't have cereal
me: i have money? i can give you money for milk
her: i don't wanna go get it
me: ...
it's literally 'around the corner'. not in like, the way someone in the country would say 'oh, it's just down the road'.
this is literally around the corner- you walk to the corner of our small, urban street, make a left, and it's less than half a block away
if you walk quickly you could leave our door and be inside the place in less than a minute
but now her dry cereal is sitting in a bowl in the fridge until someone else goes to buy milk!
the slovenly disgust me

I mean... I can't say I've never had a day where I would be that averse to physical activity.
But as a matter of course, that's pretty sad.
