And you're not special because your ass is sitting in a 5,000 pound gas-guzzler. I know, the world will end if you wait 15 extra seconds to get to McDonalds because some inferior human being dares to use their damn legs.

And whose fault is that? Don't excuse dumb-ass American planning (that, lo and behold we are now discovering is idiotic).

Comments like this are infuriating and just plain old not bright, and I say this as someone who loves cars and driving. So basically, anyone who dares be outside and not in a car gets to be a second-class citizen and haul ass up and down stairs to cross a street, less we delay the buttercups in their Hummers needing…

I have no joke here. Kay is a piece of shit. He is YES's version of Bayless, Cowherd and Reilly rolled into one Goebels-like fanboy package. He is truly awful in every conceivable way.

I didn't know how Pete Carroll felt about setting buildings on fire and demolishing them until today.

These bros somehow think Sherman gives a shit. He just won a ring, I doubt he's heartbroken.

Yes, Christie cronies who run the agency. I feel I've made that pretty clear.

The problem is NJ Transit, which is run by incompetent assholes.

Congress, the SEC and DoJ have allowed banks to engage in fraud to rob people of paid-for homes, and allows the NSA, FBI and CIA to do their thing. Why would they make an exception for this? These abuses would never affect them, since they're powerful people.

Alright, I'll bite.

Like I said in my post, Christie cronies. Also, by that logic, none of the awful shit he's done was done "directly." Same can be applied to bridge, the extortion in Hoboken, the cancelling of the ARC tunnel project. Others did it on his behalf so it's all good.

I don't know, what could possibly go wrong with increasingly insane US police departments, trolling spy agencies, and corrupt financial institutions who like to engage in fraud having the ability to strand you in the middle of nowhere.

Except that banks and collectors in the U.S. have a tendency to foreclose and and repossess things that a) have already been paid off long ago, or b) never financed with them in the first place. So yeah, I don't want some asshole at a collections agency stopping my car in the middle of a frozen winter because they…

NJ Transit, also full of Christie cronies, BTW. These are the same folks who let a couple of hundred million worth of equipment drown during Sandy because moving equipment to higher land might suggest Christie in some way believes in science, and that's a no-no.

OnStar is not a built-in by-law service.

Problem is, mankind has shown constantly it will abuse this sort of thing to no end.

It'll be awesome when the US adopts this and our always sane police departments and spy agencies use this to abuse the shit out of people. Then of course Congress will unanimously pass a law giving debt collectors and banks the right to use this.

How dry I am, how dry I am.

Ah, the ole "BUT THE GUBMINT IS EVIL, [Insert Giant Corporation] ARE THE GOOD GUYS AND HAVE MY BEST INTERESTS AT HEART" argument we always hear.

Apparently there's already some solid state battery tech that's going for field trials in the next year and a half developed by folks in Colorado, so weight might not be as important in a couple of years. Hopefully a system like that can be developed with those batteries.
