I love driving too, but when I worked in Seattle it was so much cheaper to take the bus. I didn't mind it for the most part, but I did buy an ipod just so people on the bus wouldn't talk to me. Even if the battery was dead, I would just stick the earbuds in so people wouldn't try to start a conversation.
Wait wtf. People? In Seattle? Try to talk to you?



Are you sure you lived here? (jk, mostly)

That's so funny! My dad drove racecars too when I was growing up. My brother's like you that way, pretty sure he got all the driving genes.
Ann Arbor is pedestrian-friendly, huh? Any ideas about the COL there?

(gotta say, omg 3 cars. Just to park those here would cost as much as I pay for my room a month, wish I was kidding)
I've heard many good things about UofM, though don't have personal experience, I did my only semester of college at their rivaling school.
I definitely wouldn't have them if I had to pay to park. One is my grandpas 78 pickup, which is a project truck. One is a pickup truck that used to be my daily driver, but we keep around for hauling wood/extra work vehicle (currently not running and hasn't been used in a long time), and then my daily driver is a Camry Hybrid. We also have a carpet van. In the past 6 months, we've sold 2 cars and a motorcycle. I have a problem obviously :facepalm::ROFL:

It'll fix that getting-laid-off- problem I should have later this year or early next :D
Just have to win first.
And buy tickets. I don't do that often.
I often say I have done absolutely everything humanly possible to win the lottery short of buying an actual ticket. :)

Every.Single.Day! Issaquah to Seattle, I was like "please don't. Oh God, yep. They're trying to talk to me."
That's so bizarre. I live in north Seattle and the only time anyone speaks on the street around here is to apologize when their (sweet, friendly; I've been really lucky so far) dog runs up to lick my hand or whatever. I guess the Seattle freeze varies by neighborhood or something.

P.S. Pretty much my whole family were car people and I love driving, in fact "fun to drive" is like the third thing on my list looking for a car right now after condition of the vehicle and reliability, so no econoboxes and really trying to avoid an autotragic transmission.

You might be too close to the woodlands.
even around “houston” houston those seem to be the prices give or take (in an okay area). maybe i’m looking in the wrong spots

That sounds glorious. This was before smartphones, so people didn't have as much to constantly distract them.

10 minutes into a 1.40 survey and they seriously pull "recall a time when" on me?



I'm poor and all but this just isn't behavior I feel right encouraging.
returned regardless
