If you don't get the 635, I will be angry at you for the rest of your life!
And from today's Craigslist, from ones I happened to see:

Why do you have good cars there? All we have here are sort of the generic pieces of crap way overpriced for their mileage...
S'pose I could buy something down there then drive it home...
Not all of Texas is flat like Kansas. In addition, we have a few, just a few, of those things called "curves". And there's a huge motorsport culture here.
Here, people can discover a little of what a good car is, instead of cruising straight for 500 miles across the state with no elevation or heading changes, which shows little about a car.
Lots of people in the Midwest do buy cars from Texas and drive/trailer/tow/ship them home. In fact, the largest Jaguar-specific preowned car dealer in the world is here in Dallas and their specialty is selling to out-of-staters for good prices.
Can't stand most of you Texans.
I've met a few weird texans, but for the most part they seem to me my favourite southerners. Only place in the south I'd consider living.
I'm a tree-huggin war-hatin family-destroyin democrat who also happens to be an Atheist.
Sooo Texans don't especially mix well with me, for the most part.
And I don't like hicks.
And you're here on a car forum, talking about getting a mustang?I'm a tree-huggin

You'd like Austin

Isn't that kind of like the kettle calling the pot black? Kansas voted bush the last 8 years as well, how can texans be any worse?
It's certainly a little oasis of europe in the middle of texas (AND IT HAS A SHIT LOAD OF SMOKIN HOT CHICKS!!)
lol, I was exaggerating same as you, I was just thinking that kansas can't be that different from texas (though I wouldn't know, I've never been to kansas).Those adjectives were simply jokes... I may be a fairly liberal democrat but I reserve my right to pollute the environment with gas and rubber smoke as I deem necessary. I also support families of all types and am a defender of the military. And as for Kansas, I know, but I'm 17 so not THAT much I can do about it. I intend to be going to school in Chicago.
People who turn off their high beams about 5 seconds after you're blinded by them.
Ok, here are some points from a commuter cyclist and 4x4 driver (They ballance out... I think)
As a Cyclist, what annoys me;
1) People who question my legitimacy as a road user.
The typical quip here seems to be "You pay rego on that?"... I would if I could. Cyclists need to be more accountable for their actions. However, I still pay for the upkeep of roads through the tax I pay. So please stop using your weak and pathetic "No pay no play" argument. Yelling profanities, spitting or throwing things at me is only going to make me more hostile.
In the US, bicyclists do not have to be registered or inspected, their operators do not have to be licensed, and they don't pay road tax.
Not a bad idea, I often see crap cyclists, as well as crap driverswhy is there no mandatory rider's education class?
If bicyclists can use the road, why can't I use bicycle paths?
But they do pay tax.

If handicapped people can park in the normal spots, why can't I park in handicapped spots?
In the US, bicyclists do not have to be registered or inspected, their operators do not have to be licensed, and they don't pay road tax. Any time someone suggests the above, the bicyclists get all up in arms and start doing things like marching on city hall. They also get all up in arms if someone closes one of their special bicycle trails or plans a new community without cycle lanes.
Personally, I think they need to stay on the sidewalk with that attitude. And if bicyclists are "road users like any other", why is there no mandatory rider's education class? Why aren't bicyclists licensed?
And why do my tax dollars go to bicycle paths that I can't use my motorcycle on? After all, turnabout is fair play, right? If bicyclists can use the road, why can't I use bicycle paths?
As for the motorbikes on bike paths, well, that's due to a general idea that there isn't a bike specific path per se, rather a "shared usage path". When you're amongst pedestrians with small children, pets, and no concept of keep left/right(depending on country), space becomes a problem, even for a bicycle, never mind a motorcycle... And the surfaces aren't crash hot either.
