So after living in Boston for 4 years and being chained to the MBTA I've finally gotten my first real job and am now able to buy a car. With a little luck I'll be getting one today, a used Yaris 3 door hatchback. While this is my second car the first was purchased from the dealership of a family friend and I got a great deal and didn't have to worry about them screwing with me. So this is my first time buying from a dealership so I'm sticking to certified pre-owned Toyota dealerships that I know (think) I can trust. I'm bringing the boyfriend, but he knows about as much about cars as I do so we'll see how helpful he is.
The T isn't that bad, but nothing compares to being totally free of public transport when you need to be.
The only thing I've tried when buying a new car is financing it at a bank, and then going to the dealership and saying that you're going to pay cash. It forces them to remove around ~20% of the bullshit they give you.
Hmm, I would think one of the nice benefits to offset the horrible shit winter weather of Boston, would be not having to pay to own a car, as the transit system has been described to me as being fairly good.

except when the trains crash into each other! they like to do that sometimes here.
The T is Boston is awful and now they want to raise fares again and cut back service. This includes eliminating some bus lines and all commuter trains after 7pm and on weekends. They also plan on messing with some of the subway lines, and the green line I live on comes every 15 minutes on average as it is so making that less frequent while making me pay more sucks.
have you guys heard the story of that guy who wanted really bad to drive trains when he was a teenager
so he'd sneak onto the subway train, lock the door and drive it
he did it so well that the people on the train had no idea
he was arrested for it like six times but the judge just kept letting him off because he thought it was funny
I like to imagine that this was my friend Justin.
He is twenty-two, and in school for civil engineering, and he still has a train set in his room, with all the bullshit still working, bridges and switches and shit. Motherfucker loves trains.
I could turn every thread into something about Batman.
I could.
You fools see the precarious precipice on which we walk?
Every second we remain even slightly topical is a virtue, knowing that Jordyn waits on the edge of her seat, ready to turn every thread into a Batman thread.

Remember when you were young enough to make riding on a train a magical experience and you kept waiting for George Carlin to come around wearing a cool hat, instead of riding a train being a stupid experience where you're shoved between families of fat tourists who don't know how to fucking stand on the standing side of the escalator?
It's obviously inferior, but it's got character, goddamn it.
we have a >100 year old baseball stadium that blows in every way except for nostalgia, it's kind of how we roll
(not to say it isn't retarded)
We take history way too seriously. It's how we justify every thing that is old and in desperate need for updates/demolition that we can't afford to do.

So basically you'll become an evil psychotic bent on forcing your worldview onto an unsuspecting public.
Guess who'll unexpectedly show up to foil your plans.

what?
Stupid duck, baterangs all up in this bitch~!
I love trains. I studied engineering in college for 2 years before I found out it had nothing to do with trains.
In a city like ours there's no reason to eat at Subway or Quiznos.
I'd rather go to a local place where the food is (almost) invariably better
and you can get really good sandwiches at places like Panera Bread
