That is very pretty and I would like to drive it, please.

FYI, here’s a breakdown of what Musk is doing and what he’s trying to achieve. Thanks to all for your comments... it’s still basically a TBM, though.

Yup. Just found that out. Thanks for the info!

Isn’t that the hyperloop, though? I mean if he puts the hyperloop into a tunnel, yay for him... but The Boring Company is literally just about boring tunnels, not necessarily what goes in them. Other people have kind of explained that Musk is approaching it as a way to perhaps improve the technology, mentioning that…

That’s not the one I meant - I said the wrong lake. There’s too much damn water in Seattle. That’s my bad.

Yes, I’m sure having an elevator that can transport one car at a time will totally save time. Well... maybe in LA, lol.

Haha, good point. I just keep seeing a bunch of stories about it and wondered why it was news.

Please, for the love of God, explain to me how this is any different than any other tunnel boring machine ever used. Bertha, Harriet, the one that dug twin light rail tunnels under Lake Washington, the one in Switzerland that dug the longest tunnel in the world. This is not fucking new.

Yeah, those signs are definitely not designed for that load.

Yes, Greeley. Especially when the wind’s blowin’ the right way. In the winter, you know it’s going to snow because it smells like Greeley.

Commuter rail, bro.

I feel like Mattis could issue one hell of a threat to keep that fucker on point.

YES. You know why I don’t want to buy another fucking sedan? Because I can’t see past that asshat in front of me.

The neon had a spunky personality?

They just feel so cheap, too. Blech.

They don’t even know the first rule about leg day. That’s terrible.

Seems reasonable, but your wait time at the DMV is probably already exceedingly time consuming. You sure you want to add an odometer check to that wait?

I agree with the majority of what you said. The problem with the first paragraph is state or local income tax - some places have it and some places don’t. If I lived in Florida and Florida has a statewide VMT fee (vehicle miles traveled), but no income tax, how does that work (I know there are ways - there could be…

The problem with that is the same as reporting your odometer reading once per year - you have to have a few hundred bucks on hand to make the payment. It also disenfranchises people who drive less. The idea behind the gas tax is making people who damage the roads the most pay the most. This is why the diesel tax is…

Third gear: How about do away with the gas tax and tax EVERYONE based on miles driven? This is how the transportation industry has to go. The problem is how do you determine miles driven? Does a DMV employee have to read your odometer every year and you pay one big lump sum, once per year (that sounds like something…
