    Carjacked: An Anthropology of Americans and their Automobiles

    I have never spent $8,000 a year on any car I've owned. Is this assuming the person doesnt own their car and is still making payments for it? When I see silly "facts" like that I tend to dismiss articles like these.

    New Streetcars

    Man are those new streetcars ever ugly looking. And the double ended trains? Is that even neccessary with our track infrastructure? The current streetcars are much more pleasing on the eyes. Thats what we get for paying people in europe to build our streetcars instead of paying canadians...

    Dufferin Street: Eliminating the jog

    The reason not to ban turning on red lights here is because we dont need more of our civil liberties taken away from us to "protect us". If people would just follow the damn rules of the road there would be no problem. Im sick of losing my freedoms because the government decides to protect our...

    Dufferin Street: Eliminating the jog

    I think youve never driven in Montreal. No, I'm talking about turning right onto Queensway when youre going south on Roncesvalles. No I complain because of the fact that since other people are idiots, be it drivers, peds or cyclists, I get inconvienced. If everyone followed the rules...

    Dufferin Street: Eliminating the jog

    They better not add a no right turn on red southbound dufferin to east bound queen. I live in this area and I'm sick of all the no right turns on reds they have been puting up lately. First Lansdowne and Queen (south going east). This is somewhat understandable do to the 3 tier traffic lights...

    Dufferin Street: Eliminating the jog

    It's easily the worst paved stretch of a major street in Toronto that I can think of, off the top of my head.

    TTC: Stations that Need Improvements

    1st Idea I like a lot. Smaller non union cleaners could clean 2 full stations a day and almost effectively clean every station once a month. But you know the idea wouldnt fly with the current TTC union member$. 2nd Idea I hate. All our freedoms are being slowly taken from us. You can't...

    Dufferin Street: Eliminating the jog

    Does anyone know if they are going to resurface Dufferin St. between Queen W and Dundas W? That's gotta be the worst pavement in the whole city. I refuse to drive my car on that street because it's so hard on it. Lansdowne is a much smoother road (other then between dundas and college, that...

    Dufferin Street: Eliminating the jog

    Nah, I like the graphitti coated bridge and I live a 5 min walk from there. Its part of Parkdale's scenary. And lets face it, if you paint over it, it just makes graphitti artists want to paint over it again even more.

    Dufferin Street: Eliminating the jog

    Yea google maps has been updated like that for months. It's actually totally covered now.

    Dufferin Street: Eliminating the jog

    I suspect youre right after looking at google maps. Its unfortunate that there will still be two lights so close together on Queen. I still see this being a bottleneck area of Queen after the tunnel Is complete. I also suspect that Sudbury St. will see more traffic once the road is extended...

    Dufferin Street: Eliminating the jog

    What's going to happen with Gladstone ave after the jog is removed? I hope they remove the traffic light there and possibly restore Gladstone to a 1-way all the way from Dundas to Queen, although Gladstone is a fairly wide street maybe they can slim it down again and redevelop the area on the...

    A Mississauga Transit Dwell Time Christmas Tale

    I know thats the posted time for the bus, thats thething that frustrated most. It was going slower then it should be on a day it could of been going way faster. I guess I could of just had a crappy driver but the moral of the story is even if he was 15 mins late(a common occurrence on the MT)...

    A Mississauga Transit Dwell Time Christmas Tale

    Atleast by only going was far west as Mavis you avoid the hyper terminal of Westdale mall. :rolleyes: You know the bus could dwell at Dixie for 10 days in a row for 10 mins a time, but the second you tryed to pull something like that It would drive away in 1 min. Kinda like the old smokers...
