Commuting via Acela, saving half an hour each run means you save 50 hours a year.

And bonus, it is also better for the environment

Acela isn’t primarily meant for one-off tourist runs. Commuting via Acela, saving half an hour each run means you save 50 hours a year. And you don’t have to drive, which means you aren’t being stressed out by idiot traffic and can just relax or, if you must, work on the way in and out. You also don’t have to figure…

Are you counting the time you’d spend finding parking at your destination and point of origin? If both are on the transit networks there, it might not come out in the car’s favor.

Not correct sir, I’m a former Southern Pacific Locomotive Engineer and passenger trains have always had right away over my 70mph intermodal stack trains I used to run. I have been put in the hole/siding two hours before the normal 3am Amtrak passenger train would hit the manual interlocker, because the train…

See, living in Boston and visiting Manhattan by Acela is actually really nice. You get stare out the window, daydream, sleep.

On one hand, you have a point, and that taxes will need to be re-evaluated at some point regarding EVs. On the other, this all reeks of culture war bullshit.

Either layout tends to be in neighborhoods with huge lots where it’s nearly impossible to walk anywhere.

More curious than pedantic here; if you can afford one why did you pose who could afford one?

For the 100th time… the tax credit is not a discount coupon. People still have to finance the car and pay interest respective to the original MSRP.

This is the kind of thing that prevents people from getting into trains and supporting mass transit. It’s sad that our infrastructure is literally the worst in the world and nobody wants to see that change, not even the people who are supposedly making money off all this.

Sweetened peanut butter is more like cake frosting than peanut butter.

Completely agree, PB does not need added sugars at all.

Yeah, the problem is that we have a catch all for “high rate of speed”.

Once I stopped eating sweetened peanut butter, I found that for me unsweetened salted peanut butter is far superior. You end up with just a delicious salty peanutty flavor, bonus points if it’s crunchy.

90 is way too fast for public roads anywhere in America.

LOL! Pick up trucks are NOT safe and should not be driven like sports cars, but... Texas.

Last year, we were driving across S. Dakota where the speed limit is 80 mph. Like stated above, I figured 85 would be appropriate (I have a lead foot anyway and was excited at the prospect). I ran that fast for maybe a mile and thought to myself “this is dumb, dangerous, I’m wasting gas, and the engine cannot enjoy…

Any word if the truck was carrying DVD players?

Texas has a Texas driver problem. I was in Dallas a few months ago, and in just a few blocks of Market Center Blvd counted a half dozen spots where people had driven through the new guardrail between the street and the sidewalk. The project was still under construction and already half destroyed. They could lower the…
