Right. Also, perfect time to mention your keycard is now revoked, in conjunction with your frequent client punchcard. You're no longer welcome in my penthouse.

That's what she said.

Ah, good old days when buses like this ruled.

You're buying.

 

No. Detroit for life, mofo.

That's a Fairbanks Morse engine. Still being built since 1938. Same engine, same reliability for submarines, ships, and even locomotives.

Hmmm....

To paraphrase my initial sentiments, I don't have time for this crap, nor do I want to continue to lament on this issue.

 

The point is my back still hurts like a mofo and nothing changes that.

Okay, but your last post made it seem like you did. 

The key difference however is that the RTS has a better ride quality by far.

 

An average Gillig Advantage or Advantage BRT has a lackluster ride quality, as it's chassis and suspension is low grade. As such Gillig uses a larger than usual tire in a poor attempt to compensate for what the suspension is missing, to no avail.

 

And these are CNG buses I am riding, which only worsen the impact as the weight makes the weight distribution uneven. I could go on, but I'll cease my rant here.

Comparing a high floor bus to a low floor bus is orange and apples buddy. Especially if the high floor bus is diesel versus the low floor CNGs you have in your area. They both differ in every aspect including performance, ride quality, and build quality. I personally don't know which model of bus rides better, since I don't drive buses or maintain them.

That doesn't sound well at all. I shouldn't have to "get used to" any transit vehicle, and in fact it won't happen as it is impossible. As much as it sucks I'm forced to tolerate it for the next decade or so.

If you're not able too, you might as well find other ways to commute. Everyone got use to MTA's fleet being mostly RTS.

Six months of only Gillig's and I already have lumbar related strain. I wish I could say I was being sarcastic but sadly I'm not.

I've dealt with Gilligs since 1995, including Airport buses. It's not as bad as you think. You're not use to it yet.

Deer gets flung around like a rag doll

 

 

Amtrak: No No No No No!

Deer: Oh Deer.

Anyone that's watched Family Guy, The Simpsons, Futurama, or was born in the 80s, likely have heard this song at some point in their life.

Never do this. 

It's not really a big deal anymore. It's happened about 2-3 years ago and it will happen again before they will retire.

It's unlikely (I await to be corrected come the end of this decade and into the next one), we will see 50 year old trains running on the or any other line for a while. So everyone might as well take the opportunity to attempt to catch or ride it.

Who doesn't miss this song or this guy better yet?

I like good news here and there, so I'll post this.

He is quite the humanitarian. 

I finally got banned on Yahoo. Apparently, it takes hundreds of inflammatory comments over the course of a year or two to grab the attention of moderators.

A year or two? That's called Yahoo slacking off right there. If it was me, it would be in seconds. I actually take my job serious as a mod over on Wikia.

The first MC, Coke La Rock lays some truth on somethings about hip-pop. It's interesting stuff.

Well at least everyone knows what's coming by the end of this year.

Okay boys and girls, check out the pictures of the R179s.

Thanks to Gold 12th for posting it over on Subchat, even though I don't think anyone was aware of it around here.
