Earth to Miles, Earth to Miles... everybody gets taxed indirectly for most things.

You’re the only one that doesn’t understand how taxes or general funds work. And still refuse to believe a plain fact that a city can, and has, funded a transit system without taxing motoring. As is typical, for your sort, any time facts show you to be wrong you just ignore them and act like the whole world must be…

You’ve been out of elementary school for like, a year! How dare your pennies get spent on it.

I think you’re just mad that transit can be funded without taxes taken from motoring. Even though most of those car/fuel/whatever taxes go into a general fund, and were never, in any sense meant to pay for roads specifically.

The other real story is the obscene price of prescriptions in the U.S.

And wherever public transport is available I prefer to sit in a bus in traffic and get driven to work. Even with traffic I can catch up on emails or watch videos. I’m driving a manual car whenever I know I can actually drive.

I wonder if manufacturers are abandoning manual trannies because they’re just too reliable, last way too long, and don’t make them any money from expensive repairs or premature vehicle replacements?

I have a strict policy not to spend more than 30 million on any single car.

How about I don’t read a 30 year old book that he didn’t write in the first place and instead look at the trail of wrecked deals he’s left in his path.

UNION worker here. . . IBEW Local 130 in New Orleans. . . Well written. . A lot of people on this site are anti union, but it is the unions that fought for everything they love... Some people say unions have out lived their usefulness, but without the unions still fighting, everything even non union employees love…

And people wonder why the folks at Standing Rock are so opposed to a pipeline.

I don’t like Trump either, but I don’t think he’s trying to kill us (well not all of us).

Yeah well so do Donald Trump and the Kardashians; the one thing no amount of money can buy is good taste.

Yeah, but a good hooker probably has more money than you.

As much as I’m of the mindset that people should drive whatever they want, that doesn’t stop me from thinking people like you are douchey as fuck.  

“for people who really need the special Mercedes” - Yeah... Parking blocks can be quite the obstacle for a G65 AMG. They better get the G^2.

Yesterday I read something a FB friend linked to, telling me to vote Trump because he was like Samson, in the Bible. Folks, this is a crazy time to be alive.

Last year a couple of friends and I did a Top Gear cheap car challenge, buying cars in SoCal and driving them up the coast to Seattle. I chose an abused Alfa Spider for $3k ($500 over budget) because I figured if I wasn’t going to make it anyway, I couldn’t think of a prettier convertible to be stuck on the side of…
