Truck drives but can't go past 50. No big deal. But for some reason my girlfriend won't let me use a cinder block as a seat (My interior is removed ATM).

The Honda started making TERRIBLE noises last night on the way home. It sounded like the entire front suspension was going to fall apart. I took off both wheels and looked all over but it Looks Perfect! But it sounds like something is seriously wrong. I dont know what the problem could be!!

I have four vehicles too.
One of each.

Truck - 99 F150 96,000
Car - 98 BMW 108,000
SUV - 98 4Runner 220,000
Minivan - 95 Windstar 150,000

Off work today so I really don't know if any of them would start.

never been a bus in my area, except a school bus. I live out in the country about 25 miles from work. I go about 12 miles at 40 to 50 mph to hit I-20 then tear off to Grand Prairie. Bumper to bumper at 75 to 80 most of the time. Takes me 35 to 40 minutes most of the time.

If I were to take the public transit bus to work, I'd have to catch a ride 20 miles to the bus stop.

I love being a redneck. I do have a Large gate to the back yard that you can drive a car/truck through but I think someone might cut my ***** off in my sleep if I did that.

It took me 3 bus rides and 50 minutes to go 15 miles to work. I had to walk maybe about 1/2 mile total. The bus system here in the Denver-metro area is great!

Why? It would not hurt the grass. You need some car parts strown around that back yard!

Wow Raoul, looks like you were on a buying spree in 98-99.

We don't have much of a public transportation sustem in Lost Angeles. We have buses and there is a subway (that doesn't really go anywhere much). But I will say I have taken the subway twice, but both were just for goofing off to see what it's like. It was interesting. If one actually lived near a subway point and actually neeed to go near somewhere where there was another subway point it would be cool. If one went to Staples Center or the convention center the subway could be useful, just travel to the valley, catch the metro express in Woodland Hills that takes you to the subway in North Hollywood, and take the subway to the convention center. Never been to Staples Center but did this same route for the LA Auto show at the convention center. It was quite impressive and actually fun to get there that way. AND MUCH CHEAPER THAN GAS AND PARKING!!!

I use the subway for Ravens games...in and out. The light rail is always packed and the subway is has a station about a mile from my house....

Its the only use I have for it. Other than that it is highly efficient and bringing crime from inner city Baltimore right to my door step.
