Where I live has some wonderful features, but my choices are to live in an even more traffic choked suburban shithole, a tiny apartment in a city, or some place out in the sticks where I have to drive everywhere anyways. The problem is that I live in the United States, and outside of a few places you gotta have a car.

I love the gorge, don’t get me wrong, but I also love heading up the Deschutes towards Bend, or 197 up to Goldendale, or even heading back on 14 rather than 84 for a change in scenery and also not having to brave Gresham traffic over the 205 bridge. The other road that I’m unable to drive on is 20 over the north…

They are all around you: even on a car enthusiast website there are people who have discovered that daily driving is a chore.

I have the opposite problem driving through the Columbia Gorge: I want to look at all the rocks (professional hazard) and end up swerving all over the place trying to keep it on the road. This is why my spouse drives through the mountains or anywhere else there’s interesting rocks.

I think the dodge dart probably looks at least as good as this thing.

Now, if your partner chooses to share without you both agreeing that this is something you both want, then you have a problem that is not of a technical nature.

You joke, but this is 100% true. It’s not like the vagina fits your penis any differently.

It’s possible to like cars without liking driving them. The point is that there’s a lot of different experiences with driving and yours may not be the only ones. I do like really hammering on something in safe area, testing my limits and the limits of my machine, but since that almost never happens, the quotidian…

Hey Raph fuck driving let’s go ride tarck bikes.

90% of driving sucks, is a chore, and I have to find some place to store my vehicle when I’m not using it. maybe 10% is going somewhere interesting, but that interesting is still not inside the vehicle.

What, like after sitting in my car for hours every week I’m going to do that on my free time too? Fuck that. I’m going to go outside, ride a bike, do yard work, maybe drive to go take a hike, but I’m 100% not willingly driving for fun. I’d rather pour boiling coffee on my crotch.

All of this only in peculiar washington fashion the left lane campers are dangerously all over and traffic is back, baby.

No. That’s the whole point of a startup. At this point, it’s mostly about who knows who to get venture capital and screw the little guy, get your nut, and get out before it collapses.

I think most of these startups are subsidizing their business model with venture capital and I wouldn’t expect them to stick around after that runs out. 

Star wars has space wizards who fight with swords and warships in space with windows and small spacecraft that make noise and fly like airplanes and this is what bothers you?;?

The new hotness is the ipad.

Hey now I’m not going to let facts get in the way of a good bad hot take.

Just wait for Porsche to show up with several trailers full of parts to every race to sell to their “amateur teams” at “affordable” prices to maintain and fix their homologation special GT3 cars. Porsche will always find a way to break every racing series because Porsche doesn’t fuck about with GT racing.

Not to mention the 20 gallons of gas bolted to the back of the vehicle giving it that Carolina squat, and having to listen to those AT tires buzzing away as your Tacoma/4runner attempts to accelerate up to traffic speed.

Those are funny for a little while.
