ParkTrips

Wait - because someone is handicapped, they should get free parking? LOL

based on a reasonable 30mpg You'll pay $140+ in gas to go to STL $80+ in gas to go to G-Am $160+ in gas to go to SFOG Plus hotels? I'm sure some of those are just stops on trips, but even as such, you're paying a lot of money, why worry about $15 bucks? $15-20 sounds minor to me..

I hope its as awesome as the Italian job

uhhh not yet they don't, thanks though

speaking of... is the TT a respectable car yet? Its not bad in pictures to me, but its a bit overpriced IMO and I didn't like the TTS as much when I saw it on the street recently

looks like BMW is following Audi's lead and making their coupe and sedan offerings different model numbers for the 1- and 3-series (1 and 3 for sedan variants, 2 and 4 for coupes and convertibles).. http://rumors.automobilemag.com/bmw-create-new-2-series-4-series-lineups-53147.html

lol let's look at a market where SF and CF both have parks Six Flags Discovery Kingdom pass: $70 Great America pass (*platinum, since its required to get into other parks): $165 SF parking fees one can pay before the CF pass becomes the better value: 6 @ $15 Even if you opt for the $50 parking pass at Six Flags, that still leaves you with $45 extra to spend on parking at other parks That is for one person. A family of four would spend $240 for passes at SFDK ($60 reduced family rate) versus $494-620 (2 kids and 2 adults/all 4 over 48") -- a difference of at least $254, or just a dollar short of 17 $15 parking fees at Six Flags parks (or 13 if you bought the parking pass - but remember, you only have to buy one for the whole family) Once you start talking about traveling to visit other parks, the cost of parking really begins to lose significance when comparing it to the costs for lodging and gas, not to mention the fact that if you can afford to spend all that time and money traveling, you really shouldn't be bitching about $15. Not sure I need to address Busch either cause their universal park access passes (Platinum, I think?) are even more than the CF ones, and only the Florida parks are reasonably close to each other, thus, again, a parking fee becomes nominal when also considering travel expenses So, in short, I find your statement quoted above to be ignorant to the facts. The other statements about ease of use are legitimate in my experience, but not deal-breakers to me. Wait, $45 for your pass or parking pass? Either way, that's nothing - its hard to get good tickets to an NFL or NBA game for that price, and that's one game, not a season where you can use it in excess of 100 times. That's a decent dinner for 2. That's less than a tank of gas these days....

at least some people in Vancouver took advantage of the distractions created by the riots

ah bbs wheels... probably the one thing that can take attention away from the fact that it's a beetle

I guess the fans forgot to smoke their BC bud

You should never like the Soul, based on the "this or that" commercial. I won't even link to it because it is so terrible.

question regarding the Italian meal: will it be Elissa-friendly?

I'm embarrassed to admit I'm reading this thread on a Friday night... not to mention playing along

^ No need to scramble your plate, I don't think anyone will go through the trouble to steal a Honda

you are pretty fucking stupid.

Nice to see Robb helped bump Olympia Looping up 30ish spots (its still too low!)

Heard that the other day, and I am really excited. I would love if they did a racing school or something too, as long as it is strictly for the 911.

its ok, I had the same exact thought (except my answer would have just been "a plane"). In fact, if he was offended, he only has himself to blame since he propositioned the question! Good thing nothing bad has ever been financed by ridiculous Saudi construction projects. Best of luck to the project, though, could you guys put it in a more scenic location? I want to be able to see more than sand from the observation deck

Is a wave of cheap supercars coming? http://www.economist.com/blogs/babbage/2011/05/new_electric-vehicle_producers

To quote Mike Tyson, we all do stupid shit when we're fucked up

never judge a ride based on testing videos. Sure, it looks slow, but I would bet that they are still tweaking a lot of things (lift speed, brakes, wheels, etc). Besides, I'd rather it be too slow, than to be fast and beat you to death like Huracan

There are several online helpers that are posted on mitch's site if you don't want to do it in notepad. I also don't see how it would take 2 hours - I started from scratch this year, had 150 lines to order, and it took my like 30-40 mins.

Title sums it up. The Mitch's poll thread got me thinking about the few credits left that I really want to hit. Last one of these to operate was at Miribilandia briefly a few years back - what happened to that one? Or what happened to the one that was owned by a fair operator in Europe? Anyone have any ideas if it will ever be possible to ride one of these? Thanks

I only actually have 2 Schwarzkopfs in my top 10 - kinda surprising considering how much of a fanboy I am, but I have most of them in the top 20% or so. The only ones that has ever really let me down were Wizzer and Revolution. Mind you, Shockwave, WEM Mindbender, and Bullet (if its around anymore) are still on my to-do list.
