where's the THRILL in driving?

Ah yes, and the autobahn is where?

 

That's cheap shot! Monopoly capitalism. You have no choice but AOL monopoly
capitalism.

 

Sure not in Switzerland. I want to live in Switzerland. If I have a
chance
to get out of this ugly America and work and live in Switzerland, I
would do
it right away. I hate America and American people and American society
and american automobile materialistic nihilism.

So who's stopping you? IOW - why ain't you gone yet?

The swiss, maybe? ;-^

BTW, if I had to associate "materialistic nihilism" with any european
country, it might come down to switzerland.

oIt's obvious that you have not been to Switzerland, otherwise you would not
have this wish.... (or maybe you are a very boring person)... (Oops,
apologies to my Swiss friends, who are the exceptions...)

No one said you had to use AOL. If they had a monopoly then everyone would
have to use it. I see in one of your other posts that you live in America.
No one made you come here, and no one is making you stay here. People like
you are more than welcome to leave. In fact most of us would encourage it.
There are lots of people that would be happy to take your place here, so
good riddance. BTW, why exactly did you end up here in the first place?

He sure hasn't lived in Europe.
Driving in the US is childs play compared to the Netherlands and
most other parts of Europe. Spain is fairly easy as it has long and
quiet roads like the US interstates. Madrid is suicide.
Paris is a *cough* experience. Driving there will teach you to to
floor it while braking too and steering to get into that almost big
enough place on the next lane.
Belgium will show you that passing at speeds over 120mph is 'the right
thing' if you want to overhaul 3 cars so you can leave the exitramp first.
In Portugal people drive as fast as they can. So new cars do 120 while old
cars do 40. That's no problem there.
In Germany if you don't drive a Merc, Porsche of big BMW You Will
Let Them Pass.
And in my own country... well... driving through NY was relaxing for
me.

Where I saw people passing us going at least 220 kph.

 

You don't know his situation, in my case, they made me come here and didn't
let me leave for almost a year. No, I wasnt held at Guantanamo bay or
anywhere else. But otherwise, his post is nothing but BS, I know stories of
a European driver, following another driver and beat him with a baseball
bat, just because he killed his engine and that took too much time. American
drivers are horrible (I can only hope MN is the worst), most roads are in
bad condition, but I'm sure there are more maniacs on European roads.

That would include me, and allthough I'm free to leave now, many americans
would not welcome it.

 

Amen, even cab drivers in Manhattan are more well behaved (and slower) than
the average dutch granny.

 

Just as I surmised. Why don't you have a choice to live in Switzerland?
Funny how so many people who claim to hate America seem to try very
hard to move here and seldom leave once they get here.

I drove in Paris just a couple of years ago and didn't find it much
worse than Boston. Never driven in NYC so I can't make any comparisons
there.

Hay Leo Lee; Get a hair cut and get a real job

America is a Great Place .And when I hear some Jack ass spew Like you do it
tells me one thing. You need to be on the receiving end of my 9 and 1/2
boot. If you don't like it here well then get the f--k out. Your
probably getting all kinds of federal aid free sh-t hand out's and your
talking with your mouth full of American food you ass wipe. Standing on
free men's soil and talking like that will get your ass kicked.


GET OUT YOU UNGRATEFUL PRICK.

Well, Leo Lee, I think the real Americans would be happy to see you go.

I know of some other people who feel the same way as you, hating America
to no end. You should get together with these people and see if you all
can't get some sort of group discount on one-way tickets to Switzerland:

Ted Kennedy
Barbra Streisand
Sean Penn
Richard Gere
Howard Dean
Mr and Mrs Clinton

Later.

Attn Switzerland: It has come to my attention that you may be invaded
by cry babies in the near future. You might want to take action to help
keep these kind of people out of your fine country. If they do try to
invade, send them to Cuba so they can live the socialist lifestyle they
desire.

 

L.O.L. HA HA HA no doubt about it. Pack all there you know what's out of
here.. Jimmie said that.

 

All I want to know is does it hurt when you think???????

Differences between Boston and Paris:
- Lanes are wider in Boston
- More twists and turns in Paris roads
- Higher speeds in Paris
- People in Boston have more problems letting you in their lane
- No Parking signs invisible in Paris because cars are parked in front of
them

IOW Paris is fun to drive when you pay a lot of attention and know your car,
Boston requires less aggression to get from one place to another.

Around downtown Boston was a mess because of construction, but hey, isn't
that supposed to be over someday?

 

Amen!

 

That trying hard is because of the bureaucrazy of the BCIS (former INS).
Besides that, moving to anther country isn't that easy, although you might
hate 99% of the people living in a country, including its governmental
representation and its carmakers, there are still a few people you drink
beer with that you would miss moving to another country.
Besides that you will face the immigration laws of any country you want to
move to.
