After thought... i would drive my wife and kids in one
Because they are totally cool. I just wouldnt take it in dangerous traffic like nyc. Recently i got all shook up going to manhattan. I am singing with niel diamond 8track, perfect sunny like fla, sunroof open: "i feel like the only rooster in the henhouse and i guess it shows"(not my kinda song but the mood fit)until the moment i entered the lincoln tunnel and like a switch flipped in my head to total fright like omg! As the tunnel lights were out, my headlights stuck on hibeam with outer bulbs un]lugged. I dont remember seeing lane lines, nobody to follow looked total dark. Cars behind me a huge bus to my right seemed to not want to pass me as i think i only did 10mph in a 35 zone. I still cant believe i got thru without scuffin my precious whitewalls.
Freaks me out to remember that reality . Makes me want a selfdriving car so i can smoke and make out instead of having all the crap scared outta me. I kept expecting crazy blaring horns but none, very strange for me. Did i properly represent a typical floridian in my fashionable markv with palm beach tag? That was my first time driving into mabhattan and just like on tv the peep show neon sign reminded me of what kinda place i was in. Actually the bigger clue was all the poor desperates asking for money. I seriously would love to give cash to anybody so sad but i am not rich yet. So, the mood i get there had me respond like an idiot: do i look like i have money to give! I truly almost got punched or killed several times. Between those desperates and a few nyc cops behaving like on tv i got really turned off to nyc. I will leave it for the elites Last edited by JB5pro; 02-04-2017 at 08:52 PM. |

The person that quoted that, never drove a car. I, personally can't see anyone that has any wealth at all, not owning a car, barring physical or vision imparements.

I was jokingly quoting someone from the past.

Yeah, Ralph Nader who was famously quoted as saying that the Chrysler 300s were too dangerous because of their "sharp" tailfins...
Yeah, lets just say that Nader's book "Dangerous at any Speed" did NOT make the New York Times Best selling list, in fact I believe that book was an absolute flop for him, I wonder why? |

"Dangerous...?" Actually "Unsafe At Any Speed" was a non-fiction best seller in 1966. As a reminder and why I am still tracking this thread, my 1st car I paid for was a '65 Corvair Corsa I bought in '68 for $450 off a used car lot. Drove it for a year and a half and lived to tell about it! |

Fair and accurate news reporting is hard to come by. They all lean hard in some direction, and don't do the leg work of confirming their sources information...As soon as one finds some juicy 'hear say' BS they all 're-tweet it' over their news feeds as fact, like trained parrots. Disgraceful.

Like I said his book was sensationalist at most and like I said, add to the fact that Ralph Nader was investigated by the government multiple times under the McCarthy Act because of his anti-American leanings in his writings. |
