I was the same way, didn't get my license till 18 cuz I had no need for it. I live out in the middle of nowhere on a hill, where am I supposed to drive to?

@Kriz: Very nice. My (dad's) Ramcharger is currently up to 209k miles (Although, due to mechanical limitations, it displays as 9k)

@Driving: I got my license after I was 18; mostly because I intended on getting a holiday help job to get some work experience before getting my GED...but ended up with a part-time job at the hospital. With where I live, if you don't have a driver's license, you're basically fucked if you want to do anything; as there is no public transportation system here aside from a small bus service, but they require you to book a week in advance so they can adjust their route.

As for cruise control, when I can get it to work in the Ramcharger (Usually I have to press the button twice for it to kick in), it is quite nice. I just don't use it in dad's van; because the damn thing will burn through gas quicker than if you drive without it :\

@DRIVING: I'm a city man, wandering man, train man and bicycle man. We actually have public transit systems in this country, so we don't need to learn how to drive as soon as we can walk, lel. I started test driving at 17 or something, but I just never got around to taking my license. Life got in the way, and it wasn't a priority.

Our cruise control is pretty good, but I'm not allowed to use it because HURR NO LICENCE YOU NEED TO PRACTICE PEDALING.

I hate using cruse control because it takes the feeling of control and
POWER away

I can also peg the dial at 60 on the highway quite easily in my car even though my car continues to ask for more
POWER wanting to peg the dial at around 80 or 90Mph

I tend to go to the race track every now and then so I like the control

*driver in a cardboard box, open flap*
get in no time to explain.
where we're going we don't need roads ....

my laptop dead *cries*
Getting a new one this week, it's a  Dell (Inspiron 17R N7110) and I shall name after name have someone from the forums so I can be abusive to it. *thinking about DL has a cold chill run down my spine* or super nice and caring >_>

@Chocofreak13: bad bad, no catching me like a pokemon. *Q4(V) knock pokeball away* you can't catch me with a normal pokeball

@Bella: *waves back* how are are you?

>_> you guys play LoL, notice a bad joke from Diana there <_<

*fly off in card board box leaving flaming tracks in the sky*

[Nichi]

Hope your new laptop serves you well

[stewartsage]

My car likes POWER (has a sweet spot for gas mileage) at 45-50 but has probably gone faster at longer rates than most.
At one point during the drive home from the cross country trip, I maintained 85 mph for close to 400 miles. I also pegged in 1,700 miles in only 3 days since we were in a semi-rush to get home.

Also, it is fitting a computer loving forum has people that love other machines. I love cars and trains as well.

notice a bad joke from Diana there

Diana has no bad jokes.

*Waves at Q4V more*

@bells: you've made me curious, but since you don't want to talk about it, i won't pry. i just hope you have an outlet/someone to talk to the way i do when i freak out but can't talk to anyone. >>;

It's not exactly a secret, in fact it came up in conversation when we group-called last time. There are a few people but I don't really like burdening them with my troubles.

Also, it is fitting a computer loving forum has people that love other machines. I love cars and trains as well.

Hey, I didn't know you were a train fan.

My knowledge of trains is very modest but they're my favorite form of long-distance transportation, I've taken four round-trip Amtrak rides in the last three years (3 from Boston to Washington DC and 1 from DC to Prince [fucknowhere] WV]). I also spent some time on the DC Metro (which is beautiful and super-clean btw) and have ridden the MARC a few times. Ironically I've spent more time on those systems than I have the MBTA. -.-

As well, earlier this summer I visited Stew at Cass Scenic Railroad park (where he works) and learned quite a bit about the trains there.

[Chocofreak13]

what makes you think i remember most of what we talked about? .__.;

@Q4: *throws ultraball*
also, gl with the new laptop, dell isn't my first choice but hopefully you'll have some luck with it. -w-

IMPORTANT QUESTION OSC:

Is it normal to sniff the exhaust vent on a computer every so often? I think computer fan exhaust smells good, it's all plastic-y and metallic, sorta like the smell of new electronics, only warm and toasty. Stew says it's weird, a little gross, and that computer fan exhaust smells like burning dust. I don't think so. What do you guys think?

[Nichi]

Doesn't seem to odd. I usually end up smelling [2k-tan the Desktop \ Frankenstein V3 \ The Yeti \ etc.] if I plug in something while it's running, and while a bit different, I don't find it unpleasant

Race Queen Miku! Once I scrape together some more spending money, I plan on becoming a personal supporter of Good Smile Racing's GT300 team (Also known as GSR&Studie with TeamUKYO)!

I'll probably end up posting some pictures of the team and their fan art in the random pic thread

Also as a personal supporter I get a 2013 Race Queen Miku Figma along with a couple of other goodies from GSR.

YAY, I'll get my first figure ever. Because I like racing. WOOT

[Chocofreak13]

yay! make sure to post pics. :000

@bells: well, i told my mum earlier today that i kinda like the smell of fresh pavement/hot tar, and chlorine, so i say to each their own. though every exhaust fan i've sniffed HAS smelled like burning dust. :\

My favorite smell is the smell that very large air conditioners make.

Also, my parents visited the Cass Scenic Railroad a month ago and rode the train as well. Unfortunately they took pictures of themselves inside the train and none of the train  I'm not the biggest fan of Shay locomotives but they're still beautiful.
