My work is about one block from my house. And that's small town block not big city block. I can walk to work in about 30 seconds. I do how ever spend all day every day on the road doing service calls. So not sure if I win or lose.

i started commuting 8 years ago. it was 40-45 minutes. earlier this year it was always just over an hour. since the 404 opened up to Keswick a few months ago, it has been a solid 1:20 each way. starting to get to me too.

I'm up at 4:30am on the road 5:10. I'm not back home until 5:30PM!! If I'm lucky. It's the carpooling that kills me. Adds 20-25min in the morning and 30-40 min home.

Wonder why I can't do wing nights? That's why

my commute is a breeze....and I have the luxury of being in a small office where I can leave around 4pm and avoid the rush because I typically walk into the office around 730am (also avoiding the rush)

8 minute stroll from house to Yonge subway platform

20 minute subway ride downtown

4 minute stroll from subway to office

bit of a bitch in nasty weather and if there's a subway delay....but 95% of the time it's smooth and stress-free

Commuting grows old fast. I did the Harriston to Dundas daily drive for five years. 250km round trip. About 1.5hrs each way and up to 3-4 hrs each way during bad winter weather. The route was 90% country driving with little traffic which was the only saving grace. I don't know how people put up with daily driving around the GTA. No thanks...My current drive is about 4mins and I don't take that for granted. You have to do what you have to do but stress both financial, physical & mental caused by a lousy daily commute takes it's toal eventually.

My commute now is 6.1 km. I make two stops at stop signs around the corner and there's one light between me and work so if I catch the green it's smooth sailing each day. Bonus is population here is 6500 or so and that surely makes for an easy commute! Hated driving through the city for work and I detest having to come down for any period of time now! If I can avoid entering it, I will!

I took my Brother to see Chevelle play The Sound Academy (formerly The Docks) in September. This isn't even close to the inner sanctum of the City and it was a f*cking Gong Show.

Roll the clock back 10 years and I was Downtown three nights a week following Indie bands playing at some of the worst dives in Toronto. Finding a parking spot usually required some effort, but at least was tolerable. Couldn't imagine doing it now.

Dont imagine it.. dont attempt it.. just dont.

Im working out in Stoufville atm, the drive home aint so bad. The only reason is because we all decided to skip lunch and leave a half hour earlier. Getting on the 404 at 2:45 isnt bad.. anything after 3 is brutal.

She says "the Mustang is sleeping now". Meaning it's no longer insured for the road.

Great because I still need to raise the tire psi and put some fuel stabilizer in it. [emoji58]

Was driving down new westminister when i see a merc amg from an intersecting street to my left. We locked gazes as i passed him. He caught up on my right and we were both just driving along the street towards bathurst.

He starts speeding up and attempted to cut me off but the civic in front of me was being strange and slightly veered into the right lane then went back, effectively stopping the amg from cutting me off. So i end up at the intersection of bath and new westminister in the left lane to make a left onto bathurst. The amg is behind me. The left turn signal goes and I take off. I sped up to 3000rpm when changing through 2nd and 3rd then forth snd I knew he was going to try something. I didnt want to speed and have my wheels spin out because my tires suck.

The Bastard probably sped up to 95 km/h then cut me off within 3 inches of hitting me

I just avoided a dangerous collision with a dimwitted BUFFOON on Bathurst and Summer Ridge.

This VW Jetta driving asshole was at the intersection of Summer ridge and Bathurst and I'm traveling Southbound. I see him/her creeping up in the distance from Summer ridge, preparing to turn right, onto Bathurst: There's even an extra lane for him/her to turn into...
So I'm driving at 60km/h when at the last moment, the car just makes the right turn, across his/her lane and into mine, I had no time to even check my blind spot so thank god when I maneuvered around him/her I didn't hit a car to my left.

More Idiots:
I finally turn onto New Westminster and I'm behind this Buick. The person behind the wheel was literally retarded. They all of a sudden drove on both the left and right lanes, stopped slightly very quickly then eventually crept back to their left lane. 3 seconds later, the driver signals for a right lane change and turns off onto centerstreet. Further down New Westminister... at the intersection to promenade mall and that catholic school, a stupid Honda CRV turned on their left signal, nearly hit a car that stopped to make a left turn to get to Promenade Mall. Went around said car trying to turn left, continued up till New Westminister and Clark, and finally went to the left turn lane.

So I took my mazda tribute out in the snow tonight (new winter car)
its 4wd/awd with a button in the dash that apparently locks the center diff, (different then my parents explorer with the 3 buttons)
from what I read online it seems to be mostly fwd most of the time and if it senses it looses traction it goes mostly rwd, I felt that today, seems stupid to me.
When I press the center locking button thing, the car becomes a different animal and feels much more confident, doesn't slide corners, seems to even break better (or at least in a straight line)
Can I drove around all the time with this 4wd button engaged (only when snow and icy like today)? Or is it bad to drive with it on for the full trip?

Armen
12-12-2014, 07:27 AM
I don't know the exact system in the Tribute, but AWD (or 4WD Auto-mode) is quite often primarily driving the front or rear wheels, depending on the vehicle. Like, a Tribute/Escape are fwd based platforms so that's the 'default'. My 03 Explorer was a rwd platform and so that was it's 'default'. When the vehicle senses slip, it activates a type of clutch to drive the other set of wheels to work in conjunction with the slipping set. The percentage of this adjustment can range. Some makes will put full power to the wheels with more traction. Some up to 50 or 75%, for example AND side to side too!

But when you're locking it in 4WD, there should be conditions that necessitate it. If the roads are dry and you're trying to make slower tighter turns, like in a parking lot, you're gonna feel it bind up. That's hard on the tires, bushings, suspension, the transfer case, etc.

But ya, I've used 4WD around town and then out on to the highway. Once I get closer to the city (assuming the roads are relatively clear), I just flip it off. Rarely would I leave it in 4WD for a full round trip - although a few times last year with that brutal winter, I did.

Last night I decided to be a good samaritan. After boosting a car in the GO train parking lot, saw man wiping his van with his arm, so I let him use my brush. Didn't have his cuz both his and his wife's car were in the shop and this was the backup. So he was happy. Then saw another person doing the same, so I just straight up offered to brush their car off while they sat in the car. Lastly, as I was just around the corner from my house, saw a Mercedes SLK stuck at a corner street so I pulled up to him and pushed him out. Had snow tires, just the snow was so thick and squishy he couldn't move.

Also I'll add that yesterday morning, when doing a tire on Derry, an awesome police officer pulled up behind me and put on his lights to help out. Yesterday was a good test of humanity, and I can tell you that it's still alive and well. Hopefully others have good stories from yesterday!

Yes threatened two sledders with a gun. I remember he'd been charged but don't recall seeing an outcome.
In some cases, complainers are overzealous citiots that figure moving to the country means nothing should come between them and total peace and tranquility while others are peeps just plain fed up with trespassers and morons with loud cans. Not discounting sledders as being a problem, the real peeps pissing off farmers / property owners is ATV'ers. Seems far too many have the mentality "if my atv will physically go there, I've got the right". Add in the greenies looking to shut all off road vehicles down and you've got a problem that is a real threat to those looking to enjoy the outdoors on their respective machines.

nterview with a Former Porn Star (http://www.somethingawful.com/news/texas-presley-interview/1/)

Tuesday, Dec 11, 2007 by Dr. David Thorpe (http://www.somethingawful.com/author/40/) (@Arr (http://twitter.com/Arr))






Texas Presley, as she's known to millions of degenerates around the world, created a minor sensation in the world of people having sex on film. She made a bunch of movies, got nominated for an award, then quit the industry, not even managing to make it into the "aged, desperate and crack-addicted" phase of her career. A tragedy for her fans, who will be forever denied the pleasure of seeing her appear in "Busty Grandma Shitstorm IX." Texas, whom I shall refer to as "Texas" throughout this interview because I forgot to ask her if I could use her real name, is an old pal of mine from her pre-porn days, so I figured I'd bother her for another interview since it means I don't have to do any REAL writing this week.

You may recall that I interviewed her once before (http://www.somethingawful.com/d/news/interview-with-an.php), just as her cinematic star was rising. While that was a bit sillier, this time I will focus on hard-hitting internet journalism. Buckle yourself in for a wild orgy of hot, nude information!
On Retiring



http://i.somethingawful.com/u/dannymanic/texas.jpgDon't worry, this is NOT a still from a porn movie.Dave: So you're out of the porno thing now?
Texas: Yes, it lasted a long 6 months. I got nominated for an award and cut the fuck out.
Me: What was the award for, and did you win?
Texas:Sadly, no. That only would've made the situation that much more interesting. I should lie and say I did. It was "Best solo."
Dave: Solo? You mean like on a saxophone?
Texas: Yes, I was first chair. You haven't heard of the new Jazz/porno fusion? It's so hot right now.
Dave: Yeah I tried out for the Hustler Philharmonic
Texas: I almost made the Tranny Siberian Orchestra, but I was missing my instrument.
Dave: Now I'm totally gonna go all Terry Gross and ask probing questions. Was any kind of turning point where you realized this whole porn thing just wasn't going to work out?
Texas: It was during a shoot. My male "costar" (to use the term loosely) was being really touchy-feely. My boyfriend was there, and I felt incredibly disgusted that this guy was trying to kiss me... that's when it dawned on me. "I'm about to have this guy 9 inches deep, and his tongue in my MOUTH seems too personal?"
This is going to sound a bit discriminate: later I found out he shot a lot of movies with trannies. I vomited, and retired.
Dave: So where's the line between "I'm doing porn" and "touchy-feely"?
Texas: That was a strange thing for me to say without clarifying... Touchy-feely: hugging on me. kissing my neck. being too "boyfriend-y." I'm doing porn: One position. Hard-core - 5 minutes / soft - core - 5 minutes. Next position. It's not romantic, and it doesn't really feel like sex most times.
Dave: I'd imagine the boyfriend being there could be kind of awkward.
Texas: Possibly. I don't really care much. I was doing it for him, and it was part of my contract with everyone that if I wanted to bring him, I could. Sorry bro, can't get your dick hard in front of my boyfriend? Not my vagina's problem.
Dave: Was the name "Texas Presley" your choice, or was it thrust upon you?
Texas: I picked it. I originally signed up as "Veronica Vaughan"... but I had picked the name Veronica for my firstborn daughter, and didn't feel that was too terribly appropriate. I changed it to Texas since I'm from the Lone Star, and Presley because I sometimes see a resemblance. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but that's beside the point. I picked it, and it stuck.
Dave: Was there any temptation to come up with something a little more awesome, like Helga Von Anus?
Texas: Strangely, no. Hmm… Veronica De PlowMouth… Looselips Mcgilla****y. Oh, and to clarify, I don't have a firstborn daughter.
Dave: But if you did, you'd name her Helga Von Anus?
Texas: Well, now I would! You should add that to babynames.com
The Pornographer's Mansion

http://i.somethingawful.com/u/dannymanic/couple.jpgDave: When they film porn, do they usually do it in the pornographer's mansion, or do rich people actually rent out their houses to be used as porn locations?
Texas: Both. More often than not it's some rich person's house. How do you explain those stains? Geeerrrrrrrroooosss.
Dave: Does the rich person get to hang around and watch?
Texas: Not usually. However, I was once getting fucked on a pool table by Scott Nails for Digital Playground at this amazing house in the hills, and I'm looking out the window over the beautiful vast greenery... and I notice movement out of the corner of my eye. In the breakfast nook of the window I was looking out of sat an elderly couple, eating breakfast. Eggs, english muffins, reading the paper, coffee, OJ... a fruit salad... so I'm having my salad tossed watching people older than my own grandparents eating salad. Irony can be fantastic.
Dave: Did they seem to notice you?
Texas: They were just so quiet, I hadn't noticed them over the huge penis I was staring in the face. They seemed indifferent. "Seems like this one's never had one that big before! Can you pass the jam?"
Dave: Didn't that make you just a little bit bashful?
Texas: I think for a minute I was aware of my surroundings, and a little rosy-cheeked, but as previously mentioned there was a HUGE penis staring me in the face. I don't know if you're familiar with Scott Nails or not, but it's easy to forget there's other people in the room when something like that is waving about. (Scott, if you're reading this... CALL ME. Ha ha, I kid, I kid... no, but really, CALL ME.)
I wonder what the number would be if ever porn star added up individually how many times they fucked on a pool table making a movie. I bet it's friggin' impressive.

On Vaginae that Smell Bad

Dave: So, since this is Something Awful and everything, are you ready to talk some shit?
Texas: YES! I'm scared and excited. The hair on my neck is standing up.
Dave: Let's hit the ground running: which adult actor or actress smells the worst?
http://i.somethingawful.com/u/dannymanic/tiffanytaylor.jpgTexas: Tiffany Taylor. No question. No hesitation.
Dave: Please describe her smell for the good people at home.
Texas:Worst smelling vagina OF ALL TIME. Low tide exploded inside her cervix.
Dave: Would you go so far as to say that her vagina could be used to strip the paint off a battleship?
Texas:Yes, I could say that. I think her vagina was actually filled with the "dip" from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Whew, even remembering that makes me cringe. I hear she won Jenna Jameson's "pornstar challenge show"...like, how funny is that show, for real? It's like a beauty pageant for beauty queens whose uncles gave them one too many hugs...
Dave: So did you say anything about her vagina, or did you just let it go?
Texas: I was really in a pickle in that circumstance. I can be really shy at times, especially if someone is completely rank like that. I mean... she's already acting like a fucking **** and ruining the scene... so now I'm going to tell her that her vagina smells like a dead skunk inside a trash can? I kept trying to hint to the director, but didn't have the balls to just up and say it. Really, there was no way to win that situation. In hindsight I should've just vomited and fainted. Maybe that would've made it more apparent.
Dave: Who wins the award for bitchiest? Besides you.
Texas: Again, I'd have to say Tiffany Taylor. She was incredibly moody, and difficult. Argued a lot with the director, just came off really snotty and spoiled. Granted, this could be due to the fact that her pussy smelled of vinegar and fish guts. That probably put me in a pretty shitty mood, too. Second, id say was a director... shit, what was her name... for Metro. Brandi, or something. She was literally famous for shoving baseball bats up her asshole. And she's giving ME attitude?
Dave: That tends to diminish a person's credibility a little. So, are all male porn stars basically just unfrozen cavemen?
Texas: God, I wish I could talk shit here, but in actuality, some of the coolest guys I know are male porn stars. Something to be said for a guy who gets to fuck hot-ass women all day long, and make $1,500 a day doing it. They're the most laid back, no-bullshit kind of guys. Maybe I was just lucky.
It takes a certain amount of patience. Hot women are fucking insane. And you're combining hot women with hot women who clearly have issues. These guys see some shit.
Dave: So would you say that female porn stars are actually smellier and more maladjusted than male porn stars?
Texas: Absolutely. I'd wear a t-shirt. "I'd rather be a male porn star"
Dave: Being close to the industry, did you ever hear any awesome gossip that you were sworn to secrecy about, but which you'll repeat here because it's funny?
Texas: Yes... this is a horrible story, actually.
Dave: Horrible stories are the best.
http://i.somethingawful.com/u/dannymanic/anonymous_1.jpgTexas:I wont use her name, because I actually do like her,.but I always think of it whenever I see her in movies now. Even though she's smokin' hot and a great performer... I can't ever stand to watch...
So, she's younger... like 20, which in the industry is like MILF age now. Anyway, she meets this guy on MySpace, and he's like this little small town podunk backwoods marine or something, and he's even younger than her. Completely naïve. He's never even SEEN a porno, and this girl is like hugely famous in the industry. She has the dirtiest mouth I've ever heard, fucks the biggest dicks, does anal, double penetration, the whole 9, and she's dating this 18 year old kid.
So they fly back and forth to see each other. And she's crying to me, telling me that she feels so bad, she doesn't want to tell him everything she's done (which I understand) and then she launches into this tirade on all the STD's she's gotten over the years (most of them before porn; they test you in the industry). And im thinking "oh, she got the clap once or twice or whatever, and it can't be that bad, yadda yadda yadda."
Oh boy was I wrong. She's like "I've had gonorrhea four times, I've had warts burned off three times, Chlamydia like who knows how many times, and the list goes on. I'm sitting there trying my fucking hardest not to burst out laughing, because I think it's just fucking amazing what she's saying to me... but of course, absolutely horrified. I mean, you can clear up most of that stuff, but WHAT THE FUCK!?
Dave: So she had dozens of STDs before she was even in porn? Porn cleaned up her vagina?
Texas:Yes! And that's the funny part! It fucking put a leash on her glaringly obvious sexual addiction.
