Problems of a teenaged railfan

[blhanel]

One very good attraction of a Hummer- in a collision with another four-wheeled vehicle, guess who's gonna win.

[Semper Vaporo]

Protection in a collision is one good attribute of a Hummer... but the best reason to own one...

The ABSOLUTE best reason to own one...

Is what I would do if "I" owned one...

I'd attach a very large brass bell to the top of the thing!!!!

 

Then I'd own a REAL...

 

HUMMER DINGER!

 

(Sorry, I couldn't help myself.)

How can something be 'funny' and 'bad' at the same time?

Um... cottage cheese a week past its expiration date is 'funny' and 'bad" at the same time.

Ok...bad mental picture!  YECH! 

Railfanning sure will change to a degree as transportation is affected by many influences, price of fuel being one of them.  I'm sure everyone on this forum has had 'one of those days' either getting to or coming from railfanning.  I know I've had a couple.  Still, I like my bike plan for railfanning.  It seems to work pretty nicely.

 I still don't understand a city the size of ours - 200+K and the people that need Hummers....I am still scratching my head over that one!

Mostly driven by insecure, wimpy dweebs with a low self-image, as a way of compensating for their small "boy parts", as well as lack of driving skills.

Haha!

[Mookie]

Zardoz!  You are going to get me in trouble with the office again!

Mook....

Semper Vaporo, that hummer dinger joke was funny. Don't appologize I enjoyed it.

I dunno, seems like the majority of "aircraft carriers" (large SUVs and such) running around here are piloted by petite females.

I saw one of the most petite, very attractive females I've ever seen driving a Ford F-350 Powerstroke Dually Crew Cab.  For the life of me I can't figure out what that capability is needed for.  Yes it's her truck not a BF or husbands-I asked!

I go down to the BNSF in Creston, Iowa occasionally. I am 14, and two or three times, an  engineer of a stopped train told me to op up on the fromt platform and ten used my camera to take a picture of me. The crews there ae very frienkdy, and will talk with me. I live by te UP, and never had a problem except for the times I mistook service roads for legal places to take train pictures. Now I avoid any gravel road beside the train tracks in town. As for getting to the tracks, I ride my bike.

Women can be at least as insecure as men.

Z: Would you forward that to Guvna Aahnold?

Well, when I was under 16 (also in MA), I used my bike a lot.  Later on, a motorcycle.  In good weather I still use (another) motorcycle quite a bit, except when I get sick of not being able to hear the scanner in between spots.  It gets about 50 MPG.
