-

-
time for public transportation!

time for public transportation!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
-
coming soon: MAF's daily stories about crazies on the buses
-
God damn, 20 miles of public transit, i'd shoot myself.
-
The buses on the east side aren't so much filled with crazies, but they do offer a good cross section of the american caste system.
-
no, never doing public transit again, I remember the crazies in texas and aberdeen
-
But it's a good way to learn to tell asian people apart. Teaches you a valuable skill.
-
haha
-
Riding the bus is always an adventure. Just don't bring expensive shit with you and it'll be ok. One time I took the bus to Borders to pick up a CD (Superunknown!) and on the way back this bum kept asking me if I wanted him to take the plastic off the cover. Then when I ignored him and took it off he asked me for the plastic.

Dude, I am like one of the gargoyles from Snow Crash, covered head to toe in computers and gadgetry. I never had a problem on the bus here.

I dont think you understood PEEDEEs post. It was merely an excuse to post a "funny" story that never happened to him.

You almost made me want to re-read that book by saying that but then I remembered my douchebag friend from high school borrowed it and never gave it back. Ugh.
-
The bus I took would take me downtown to get to the transit place, which is full of dirty poors and welfare moms. And it's across the street from a Deja Vu
I never saw anyone get shit stolen from them but there's no way I'm flossing expensive shit around bums. Michigan probably has the highest number of mentally unstable people out on the streets thanks to our former governor - there's no telling what they're capable of :-\
Bus stories
-there was a guy who didn't have a lower jaw who'd ride his bike all around downtown and ask people for money. according to the cardboard sign on his chest he lost his jaw to mouth cancer. he'd get on the bus and the little kids would start crying, so he'd wind up in the back of the bus with me. he's the only bum i've ever given money to
-there's this crazy woman who used to get on the bus wearing a giant coat no matter how hot it was. in the summer her stench would fill the entire bus and she was always asking for bus money. now i see her at the entrance of our campus harassing students
-one crazy guy sits at the front of the bus and yells out every street sign we pass. "cross street, washtenaw, depot town." he'd wear a bicycle helmet all the time
-
Uh, that's why you're supposed to carry a gun, dumbass.

he lives in michigan , it's not exactly a well-civilized part of america

It's been more than a decade since they let loose Robocop over there. I figured there would have been some sort of progress by now.
-
maybe you ran outta gas?
my car died on me a few weeks ago and i thought it was a starter problem. being the dumbass i am about cars, all i needed was some gas. :lol
-
No I had gas. The goodyear I took it to couldnt even get to the problem. The instant I heard 'take it to a transmission shop' is when I decided to just trade it in for whatever they'd give and got a 2008 focus.
-
good jon maf
-
i like my 2000 focus but i'd really like to get a newer one
the 2000 has some...um....quirks and i seem to have caught all of them throughout the life cycle of this car
-
the focus SVT is :o :o :o
i always wanted one. sucks that they stopped making those
-
Its an SES, not an SVT, I dunno the difference! I just wanted MOAR
-
oooh the SES is sexy too. my sis had the one w/ the sports package. that thing is super quick!

Yeah I had a 2000 as well. After dumping 2000+ in it last year I wasnt ready to do that again a few months from getting a new car.
-
now i'm looking at focus models.
yay
-
Poor 2000, felt kinda bad leaving it. It was a trooper.
-
I still think if I get a new car next year, I am going to go with the pimped Jetta option.
So does this thing drive all sexy like?
-
Yes, so awesome. Sad part is most SES models aren't manual, so im on automatic tho. Strangely, I seem to have adapted to the change despite my difficulties with everyone elses cars.
-
one of the things which drives me absolutely mad w/ the 2000 is the AC sucks. I don't know if you get the right climate to test, but today it was like 95 and humid as hell and i had to blast the AC to get any sort of relief. A friend who had a 2001 reported the same issue in his.
-
You have AC? Mine didn't! :(
-
I don't grok how you could have trouble going from manual to automatic. You have to do less!
-
Thats the problem. Half of my body feels like it should be doing something and it makes for a confusing driving experience
-
Take up learning the harmonica while driving.
-
going from manual to automatic is weird but you learn to appreciate the little stuff after a while... LIKE EATING TACO BELL WITH ONE HAND AND DRIVING WITH THE OTHER
also, congrats on the new car. :D
-
Ugh it's 530 and I am still at work. I was gonna go to south center but that will be terrible at this time.
-
Has PD ever posted a story that wasn't full of bullshit?
