You are a 1% er therefore exempt from criticism. :)
I have visited friend's of friend's who refused to walk to a 7-11 a block distant for a 6'er of imitation beer.
And then there are people who get caught having a Jane Mansfield inflatable misusing a car pool lane.
Too many times in Bayarrhea cities I find 1/100th Nah that's wrong, 1,500th the number of buses that we have down here and getting to a store 1 mile distant means two hours of waiting and a 1/2 mile of walking. It's absurd.
When I go north for medical, I do not drive the 90 miles. That would be stupid. A one way bus ticket costs ten dollars. And that's not the insult. There are three three dollar toll booths to pass by. Pablo is waiting for me at the Tijuana bus terminal, we cross, I pick up packages and 50 lbs of cheaper food, and he drives me home. He has family down here and is tickled to death when I fill his new 38 mpg Pontiac whateverthehellitis. Last trip he found a coveted eighty dollar coat for $29.95, he makes out like a bandit.
If I would ever wish to bang my eardrums together I would use a pair of three hundred dollar Sennheisen earphones and avoid having window glass jump their tracks. Down here depth charge grade booms and thumps allow a cop to issue a hundred dollar ticket.
To me it's quite one thing to move a house to recreate -- and another to have a small car chomp fuel for the sake of bragging rights. Few 12 ton 10-wheel RV's get 14 mpg climbing 7,000 ft in 150 miles, so I do not feel guilty about Quicksilver. Nor taking the toad on a 30 mile excursion to purchase 3 weeks worth of food.
But yeah, driving to an airport way the hell and gone outside of the city, paying thirty bucks to park then undergoing a two hour ordeal to board an aircraft to unrepeat everything on the other end, just beats the tar out of having high speed rail which takes 3 minutes longer. Talk about the clueless mass. You'd have to experience mass transit that is designed to work before arguing against it. In the states it won't work because 99% of the people insist on showing off their blingmobile at 1.75 miles per hour.
