Isn't one of their big arguments that trains are more passanger efficient than cars? If the train car is laid out so there are only two seats per row and have enough legroom between them to recline than wouldn't a car be better if your traveling with more than one person space wise?Their luxury train pictures are always taken on long distance trains, never on commuter trains.
Trains are great if I have a hot date or business in another city that I need to get to. But being able to meander and make stops with a car isn't a bug, but a feature. For one it's nice to stretch your legs and two, you can see some cool stuff. In my last HSR trip I saw a giant Buddha statue out the window. If I was in a car you bet I would take a detour and check it out or at least pull over and take pictures.
They're basically just describing a car seat.Their luxury train pictures are always taken on long distance trains, never on commuter trains.
My Crown Vic may not have the leather seats but myself and three adult friends can all pile in in total comfort with no performance loss because lol 'Merican V8 powah and we could look at all the awesome Buddha statues we pleased along the way like @FILTH Tourist wants to do. Honestly it's pretty nice, surprisingly good on loggind roads and fire roads too so we can get to some prime fishing spots.
Los Angeles, CA to Sandpoint, ID.
That's one of those weird cross-overs where the Pacific Surfliner is more like an intercity rail but used like a commuter (built like a steakhouse, handles like a bistro). Many many people use that train for a commute, even if it's just weekly, and certain trains you WANT to get that business class seat if you're not getting on early in the ride (Simi Valley is pretty early, but past Burstank you're fucked if it's the 6PM train) just so you get a seat.
Couldn't say it better. Sure you can play your phone or Switch, but you aren't really relaxed. And IF there's any food services, they cost a shit ton, vs some crackers you picked up for a couple bucks that can be eaten at home OR in the car
That's me and my XG350, except it has the heated leather seats. Had to add Bluetooth in, might not have fancy screens, but it's nice driving just you and the boys, guns in the trunk, hauling ass to the range with that big ass V6 just humming
The main argument for American highways was for military movement.
Not just that, but nuclear missile transport. There's a reason the bridges over highways are always a certain height.
That's your reason. Remember, cyclists are petty and jealous, anything that shares "their" spaces is bad, including pedestrians.
It’s because they don’t want want to improve mobility. They want to reduce it so that no one can travel anywhere. They believe that once they’ve turned a 5 minute drive into a 20 minute one, people will support densification in order to get to businesses in a reasonable amount of time. Motorcycles don’t require destroying automotive infrastructure and can go anywhere a car can in the same amount of time, so they’re useless for their real goals. It’s the same reason why they hate bike trails and pedestrian bridges.
only on the carbon dioxide side. youre still spitting out more unburnt hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrous oxide than you would on a normal car so the bike does have you beat on that admittedly. i'll also mention they arent super light or small depending on the motorbike you get (good luck bringing in a harley into your place if you really needed to for some reason), and theyre only cheap until we get into insurance.
I always thought Metrolink was for daily commuters while Amtrak was mainly for recreation. The only reason why I take Amtrak is because Metrolink has more crazy people given the significantly lower fair.
True, I guess I'm biased as a Naked-Bike rider. It also helps if you don't work in an office job and sit on your ass all day when dealing with the weight of a bike, which most of those nerds sure seem to do, given that walking more than half a mile to your nearest wallmart seems "unwalkable", "carbrained" and "dangerous" to those fucks.
The P71 doesn't get those unfortunately, but if we aren't doing goon shit my buddy has a Grand Marquis which is basically my car without the cop shit and with heated leather seats. That thing is a dream to ride in.
Yeah there is something to be said even for a tiny car like a little Fiests or some shit. You can fit a month's worth of groceries into a Fiesta sedan's trunk, I've done it. I'm also one of those weirdos that goes grocery shopping once a month, I'd love to see someone try that on any form of public transit or bike.
Because they have allowed themselves to be ruled by fear and insecurity. That's really the philosophical basis of all their beliefs when you boil them down, fear and insecurity.
Depends on the Harley, and the house. I know a guy who stores his Sportster in his house.
The retards do try, we have plenty of photos. What is one trip home in a car is a massive effort using public transit, or just getting a sack of groceries every day. That's how these people live
It is, but if you can afford the Amtrak (or back when they let the metrostink pass holders on) you take the Amtrak, because the price keeps the niggers off.
The urbanists claim cars make people asocial and lonely, but they will never know the feeling of driving with 4 friends in your car cruising around listening to the stereo. I was rewatching old Simpsons episodes and the episode Bart on the road captures this feeling perfectly of 4 guys on a trip.
