  1. 1, LMAO @ "chill your tits" 2. Imagine how ugly the R16/15s were to Low V and R1-9 fans. And lets not get started about the R62s to the redbird fans.
  2. The M8s arent in service yet. Pre revenue glitches don't count.
  3. Bombardier doesn't make the M7s anymore. Even if the M9s look/operate like the M7s, it'll still be a whole new contract. And it's not too early. Way too many times the waited until these cars turned 40 or 50 to retire them (the M1s and the M2s are good examples). For once, they're being proactive in their approach.
  4. But it's not going to be a plethora of trains that's needed. At worst, the R211s will be a bigger order than first intended. Its more "if" than "when" at this point.
  5. All signs are pointing to 60'. The R32s are showing their age, and they need to go, but not as urgently as the R42s. The R46s aren't going to be replaced by the R179s, the R46s will be here until at least 2015, and will be ousted by the R211s. The R179 was originally intended to replace the R44s (and thus were designed to be 75 footers), but the R44s had to go badly and now we're here.
  6. Is there something the TA isn't telling anyone? This is the second time it was pushed back.

  8. I'm still excited. Yea it's excruciating to wait, but given how complex these cars are mechanically, it's better to wait now than to watch as they're only run during rush hour like certain other rail fleets..... I couldn't agree more. There's no need to rush things. The M2's aren't completely falling apart and they can last one more year.
  9. Yes. The R46s are ~37, and in much better shape than the R44s at that age. They'll last with no problem. That is true (and sad). But for the sake of historical precedence: The and have historically had the oldest fleet in the system. Not counting the recent addition of the R46s, the last new cars the lines had were.....the R46's (when the was the and a good 70% of this board weren't even thoughts). The only gets something new when the is (f)ubared on weekends. The doesn't fare any better in terms of fleet age (the occasional R160, but its still all 1970s retread). Cant do the IRT for obvious reasons. As for the modifications and all that, it can be done. It's been done before (when the R44SI were going through GOH) and it'll be done when they retire those rust buckets.
  10. Not to pile on, but that cost money that the agency isn't willing to spend. An oddball fleet that requires every even number car marker to be altered for 7 car trains that are shorter than the 60 foot cars (A 480 ft R160 vs. your 469 ft train). They were only on the and and you notice their length wasn't carried over to all B division NTTs. Let's also not get into the custom conductor boards.
  11. Id imagine the R62As will return to the and since those are where the R142A's are.
  12. I would never insult the sound of glass scratching on a chalkboard like that.
  13. Moreover, why ask someone if they penetrated a girl on a public forum if you don't want to be made fun of?

  15. The Canon SX line cameras are by far some of the best point and shoots any level photographer can buy. While you might want to wait for the price to drop a little, you will not be disappointed if you get that.
  16. You're telling me that you don't find anything wrong with this paragraph: But let's put our minds on the Idea of "the Kalila Ave line" K/P train. much more AWESOME! nice friendly and cute female populated riders , a Elevation of beautiful lilac purple skies by day and dark purple skies by night or when it's cloudy. a diverse fleet of R32s , R44s , R68s , R68As , R160As and R160B alstom and siemens the K/P are the whole package people. Are you seriously telling me there's nothing wrong with that paragraph!
  17. Given the effects on him, you might end up permanently brain dead.
  18. Honestly kid, where do you pick this shit up? Are you channeling dead foamers high on pcp? Ripped the words right out of my mouth.
  19. I found out that while me and my family were at my uncle's wake, my eighteen year old sister was getting drunk at her friends house. Hows that for a random thought?
  20. Canon is pretty good, but Nikon is the tried and true DSLR for photographers.
  21. My stipend cheque was owed to me over a month ago, and it still hasn't come. My phone broke last week. I called the company last night and it's expected to come in today. WTF?!?!?!?!
