They can have my car when they pry...Fuck that shit. They can have my car when they pry my limp, dead body from a flaming heap of metal with the jaws of life.<br /><br />But seriously, living in NYC for two years and now moving to MPLS where I will be driving everywhere and having spent a bunch of time in both places I can tell you that in winter and in summer it is superior to drive. In this godforsaken part of the country (NYC) having a car is a mixed blessing--you don't have to take the subway with its various lovely biological and chemical assaults of varying threat levels-- but in MPLS when you've got all wheel drive like I do it really doesn't matter. Going to a bar in MPLS: walk to car w/ oil heater in detached garage... drive to bar... drink so that my BAC is exactly .07 when I leave... drive back... time spent outside walking like a schnook: almost zero.<br /><br />I understand why people push other people onto the tracks of the subway in NYC: if I had to live without a car knowing that would be me life <I>forever</I> I'd consider homicide and/or suicide.Adam Lhttp://litterblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
