Montana relocation: resentment toward newcomers (Billings, Missoula: cost, stores, license)

[Timberwolf232]

We used to have an old Subaru Brat that we would take out to the lake and do donuts on the ice back in the day! good times.

Down here on the western slop of Colorado, Subarus seem to be the most common car on the road.

Haha, I'd get that too if it was only a mile or two and I wanted someone to fix my bike's chronically flat tire!

My bike that I had thru high school and college had an odometer, and I put about 3500 miles on it. Doesn't seem like much if you're used to a car but that's a lot of distance for pure muscle power.

I remember seeing an engineering evaluation showing that of all forms of transportation, bicycle is the most energy-efficient (in terms of calories per mile). And that was before the era of super-effiicent, lightweight 18-speed bikes that rival a used car in price. Mine was a 40 pound Schwinn 10-speed and it was High Falutin' in its day...

I broke my leg last year in a snowmobile accident, to rebuild the leg I bought a bike and started riding it an hour a day. I hadn't ridden a bike in 20 years! Its a lot of fun I love it. You should see the looks I get when I'm out there pumping my bike up the road in my wranglers and cowboy boots.

I do have a Subaru, and it has proved a better winter vehicle than my 4WD pick up.

I always thought it was lesbians who drove Subarus. That's why I got mine. Although I am male, I do find I have some very strong lesbian tendancys.

I nominate this entry as the funniest statement of the year. I know we are only May, but I really dont know what can beat this!!

BTW, I too have several lesbian tendencies.

Now you had to get a rep for that. That's truly very funny.
