I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Dude. I'm a TOTAL car whore. I love driving. LOVE it.
Of course, I live in a city with pathetic crap-ass public transport, so you kinda have to have a car, unless you're a college student (and even then, it's better to have one).

Now tagless for your comfort.
vw, good luck with the transition. DH would totally love to be in a position to give up our cars--basically meaning he'd love to live in a city with a good metro system/zip cars/trains, etc. like Boston, London, DC or NYC.
We're sucky Midwesterners with our wide open spaces, urban sprawl and gas sucking vehicles.
Once when my sister was working as a desk clerk in a hotel during law school, she met an Australian guest who had a bad cold. He asked where to find the nearest pharmacy so he could get some cold medicine and my twin gave him directions to the closest one--then suddenly realizing the guy had no car. She offered to drive him because it was on the outskirts of town, near busy freeways and it would have been at least four miles to get there. He just smiled when he turned down her offer and her concerns that it would be too far a distance to walk and said, "You Americans do love your cars, don't you?" (Only he said it with a truly sexy Australian accent.)

Kansas City is pretty sucky when it comes to public transit as well. The state line running through the metro doesn't help either.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I really don't like driving in Chicago much. I've totally become public transportation's bitch, as when I think of the layout of the city I picture it in terms of what's near what train. I've only driven to work once this year.
I love driving on the highway, but it seems like I gotta drive two hours out of Chicago to get out of shitty traffic.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Thanks, Nora.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I love not having a car here, but when I'm at my parents' (in Maryland), I can't imagine not having one.
I hated driving in Chicago when I lived in Evanston. The worst part of the drive to Canada was the first couple of hours getting out of the city and around the lake into Michigan -- just a miserable stretch of road.
