Quoted message said:Quoted message said:I think that's part of the problem with American drivers: for them
driving is a chore. Perhaps driving better cars (stick shift, sport
suspensions, etc) on demanding roads (autobahn conditions) would do
the trick. Otherwise they should be riding the bus.A stick shift does nothing to make the commute to work even 1 little bit more
fun. A stick shift with a DAMN BIG ENGINE might, but not just a stick. Put
that stick behind a huge V8, and inside the chassis of a Corvette - now yer
talkin. But, I prolly can't afford it, definitely don't want to try to afford
it, and would much rather be able to ride to work, as long as I don't have to
share space with anyone else I don't know, like you have to on a bus, train,
airplane, etc., nor be subject to someone else's pinhead rules about not
eating, drinking, playing the radio, etc. like on the Washington Metro subway,
where they carry off 12 year old girls in handcuffs for having a french fry on
the platform.
That was probably because the fries were French... 😉
But going back to the subject: I don't understand if there are so many
drivers in America for who driving is getting from point A to point B,
and driving is a chore, to be palliated be eating, drinking, talking
on the phone, why do you defend so stubbornly driving as your only
option?
HOW CAN YOU LOVE SOMETHING THAT YOU HATE SO MUCH? 🙁
