if i don't like something i don't buy/use it. pretty simple concept isn't it. so again you don't like the Yaris leave , sell it and go buy a Fit , Aveo or other car. again you hear only what you want.

you'd make a great politcian

And I totally understand that. I'm a single guy, and I'm fortunate to have a little extra disposable income to play with. In many many ways, I am very lucky, and I always try to remind myself of that.

The thread started out well enough because it was a strict comparison, not a "This is UNDENIABLY better than that" thread. Then someone decided that subjective opinions are the basis for legitimate reviews/comparisons...

Sometimes I miss being single. If I was single and have the job I have now I would have so much extra cash that I would be able to finish my Yaris and have enough money left over to buy enough guns to arm a small army.

Eww, guns don't interest me at all. I do like cars, books, modern/pop art, travelling, fine dining and Broadway though...

Good for you. When shit hits the fan and I need something that you have I will remember that.

darthbauer · 11-12-2008, 03:26 PM

Guns are tools. It's like being afraid of a hammer.

Enjoy your guns...I have no interest in them whatsoever. I find them creepy and unnerving, but that's just me of course.

Gotta jet...off to a Quincy Jones interview & book-signing event tonight.

I LOVE NEW YORK...and my Phit Sport!!

sorry, I do. They are SO not part of my life, and will never be. If you like them, great. As I've said, I have less than zero interest in them. My interests range from the arts, to cars, to running/working out, hopping the globe, politics, books and my 2009 Phit Sport. Guns are not anywhere on my radar.

But I want YOU to enjoy them!

I'm not trying to start a fight and that's cool that you want me to enjoy them and I do but I don't see how you can think a gun is creepy? Sure you can hurt someone with a gun but you can hurt someone with a knife and your bare hands too. Are you afraid of them too?

33OH · 11-12-2008, 06:13 PM

..I think Honda Fits are creepy. Giant hunks of metal.. Ugh. *shivers*

But I want YOU to enjoy it!

33OH · 11-12-2008, 06:14 PM

oh and Bobby please don't PM me anymore. kthx.

Bob_VT · 11-12-2008, 06:18 PM

Bobby why does someone who claims to live in Manhatten..... need two economy cars? Public transportation in NY is great and parking sucks.

bobby · 11-12-2008, 07:21 PM

The Phit is here in Manhattan with me, the Yaris is in the burbs with my folks. Nobody needs a car in NYC, this is true. The public transportation system here is incredible and very efficient. I have it because I want it. Most people I know in Manhattan don't have or want cars...they rent a car if/when they need one. I have friends/family in DC, in New England, etc, and I use it to visit them. I almost never drive IN the city (no reason to...parking is awful and expensive) but I use it when I want a getaway. Fortunately, in my neighborhood, the parking is fairly easy. I have not had a parking ticket in over a year, no easy feat in NYC. I have the parking situation well under control.

So, the quick answer is that for me it (having a car in the city) is a luxury. I certainly don't need it for work. I can walk or ride my bike to work, or take the subway 3 quick stops to my office.

Okay. Yes I do know Manhatten and no parking tickets is not only a feat but a full time job with alternate side..... I was under the impression that you kept both in the city.

LOL 3 stops on a subway is nothing if you are talking local and you should walk...... now 2 on the express is a bit further.
