autos

I'm so over corvettes. Back home I used to dream about driving one, but they're a dime a dozen here.
well, not quite, but they're still the poor man's sports car. Sure they handle well, and they actually go around corners, but revolutionary spine replacement surgery has been developed especially for corvette drivers. Their handling ability has been achieved by putting them really low on the ground and reducing suspension travel to 1mm.

Anyway, there are a lot of nice cars here. Subaru aren't so popular, Honda is the number one player along with ford.
American cars are cheap, but only cos many of them are assembled here.

I see a lot of exotics too, Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, Maserati and of course, Hummer.

The roads are wide and flat to accomodate these vehicles out in the 'burbs, but the city is a nightmare to drive in.
Streetcars (trams) and padestrians rule the city, I don't know why anybody bothers to drive.

I have to say; while the bus may be a bit slow, it's better than driving and you get to catch up on reading, or blogging

;)
