The pics thread

I actually kind of agree with him about the concept of flying machines being more "free." And while he didn't mention the cool factor, the only thing cooler than a Bugatti Veyron or a Ferrari FXX is an F-22 Raptor. And the F/A-18 Hornet. And the Stealth Bomber. And the SR-71 Blackbird. etc.

Cars are like sex. When you haven't had it yet it is easier to dismiss it as not worthwhile.

Mushrooms and garlic are the best two veggie toppings.

Too bad mushrooms aren't vegetables.

I just think that building cities and other settlements to create convenient transportation via car ends up wasting a lot of space and resources. If stuff were built without making space for roads, there would be more space for parks, residential areas, etc. People could ride bikes to get where they want to go, and if they need to travel long distances they can take a train or fly. Of course, moving pretty much requires a truck, but other alternatives can be created.

The problem with non-traditional transportation (in this case, anything but cars), is the huge undertaking of building that kind of infrastructure. It's an incredibly difficult and expensive thing that everyone, government and private sector alike, is loathe to attempt.

I misread that as vagina toppings. Lol'd to myself. Carried on.

Finally got a new truck! Traded my shitbox 92 Mercury in and got this, it's an 09 Nissan Titan. Long overdue, i now have something with air conditioning and horsepower as a daily driver.

one with my pup Ozzie in the back

Nice. And I love the pup.

Real freedom and convenience is the ability to hover in place or fly at supersonic speeds in the same vehicle! We should seriously put funds together to build flying saucers.

"The government is very touchy about us being in the air. Let us run around on the ground as much as we want. Anything in the air is a big production."

"Yeah, right. And what about the floating cities?"

"And the underwater bubble cities?"

"It's like we're living in the '50s here"

I disagree. I haven't owned a car yet and consider it something very worthwhile and almost essential. Whereas sex, i don't consider it something special, it's just a normal thing to me. I don't care if i have sex now or 5 years later.

I think people in their early teens often have difficulty thinking of anything other than sex. It's not really the same thing with cars.

I'm not saying it's easy to change it or anything. I'm just saying the change would do wonders for the environment and other things. We could have more resources that we could use to defend against hostile aliens that could show up at any point in the future.

The car salespeople should provide complimentary dogs. They're so much nicer than guns.

Such pipe dreams are fun to think about, but politics tend to be way too disorganized & corrupt to make megaprojects like that possible. Your time would be better spent trying to figure out how to get people to elect politicians who aren't shitty and worthless.

Do people who aren't ever even stand for election?

Also, we've been gutting the public transportation plans for this country for a long time in the name of "saving money".
