Sure do. I remember trying to pull them out of my wife's clothes all the time. The always bugged me. Now what bugs me are the pants that are too short to be pants but too long to be shorts.

Luckily for me, I work and play extremely close to where I live.......which both are in the burbs.

However, even before I moved here and had a 27 mile, 35 minute commute....I still preferred driving my own truck. I just enjoy it.

YMMV!

As I have said in many threads, there is no one central location people here travel to. There are multiple employment/entertainment hubs. That plus the demographics are not well suited for large scale mass transit...IMO. There are limited services which can be successful and those who have the blinders on and can only think of mass transit would be better served focusing on target areas for mass transit and give up on their fantasy. It's not going to change no matter how many different threads are started about it.

Again, JMO......although a very educated and accurate one and YMMV!

I love to drive as well, but learned to hit subways, buses and trains, and I take a trip on one of these with my grands so they KNOW what is is like to get on one and experience mass transit, today the gas went up $.11 cents in one shot, trust me the gas and insurance will just keep getting higher and the income will be less and less because we have globalization. I may never ride the rail here in Tampabay, but I think the future generation, XYor Z need it in place. AS fo location and logstics, dont know how they keep biulding in S FLA specially the beach, but they keep building and they made ways to put trains in dade cty, so dont say it cant be done, it can and eventually when the SILENT GENERATION gets out of the way, it will. I rem when they introduced ATMS OMG you think the world woul crack, yet there are here and used daily. CHANGE comes!
