schestowitzThere is no infinity in natureMar 28 07:49

schestowitzDaemonFC: don'tMar 28 08:00
schestowitzUse public transport thenMar 28 08:00
DaemonFCand they punish you for not going into debt by raising your interest rates when you do get a loanMar 28 08:00
_goblin_daemonfc: Im proud to say I have no credit what so ever - I don't believe in it.Mar 28 08:00
DaemonFCI believe that I will be walking around town a lotMar 28 08:01
_goblin_paid my mortgage off last year....Mar 28 08:01
DaemonFCcause there's not public transportation at all hereMar 28 08:01
DaemonFCdoes not existMar 28 08:01
DaemonFC*noMar 28 08:01
_goblin_what about getting a bike?Mar 28 08:01
DaemonFCyes, a bikeMar 28 08:02
_goblin_or those bouncy boots that make you run like an alien.Mar 28 08:02
DaemonFCwhere do you ride those at?Mar 28 08:02
DaemonFCthe sidewalks that don't exist hereMar 28 08:02
_goblin_I mean a motorbike.Mar 28 08:02
DaemonFCyes, surelyMar 28 08:02
DaemonFCahhhMar 28 08:02
DaemonFCthat's another problemMar 28 08:02
_goblin_I can recommend an R1Mar 28 08:02
DaemonFCthen you can't ride them from November to MarchMar 28 08:02
_goblin_yes you can.....you just have to be a nutter....Mar 28 08:03
DaemonFCyou obviously don't understandMar 28 08:03
_goblin_are you meaning in the winter?Mar 28 08:03
DaemonFCyou are NOT going to ride it in northern Indiana in DecemberMar 28 08:03
DaemonFCexplain to me how riding it in 3 feet of snow and ice worksMar 28 08:03
DaemonFCB-)Mar 28 08:04
_goblin_like I say...Mar 28 08:04
_goblin_a nutterMar 28 08:04
DaemonFCI don't even think it's possible to ride it on thatMar 28 08:04
_goblin_put a snow plough on the front.....its got the power to push it.Mar 28 08:04
_goblin_chains on the tyres....youre sorted.Mar 28 08:04
DaemonFCeven if it was, there's that gigantic hill that you'd have to go up and down to reach the other side of townMar 28 08:04
DaemonFCI'm really probably going to have to get a loan at the bankMar 28 08:05
DaemonFCwhich is NOT something I want to do but beats all other optionsMar 28 08:05
_goblin_and I bet my R1 has enough HP to push through 3 foot of snow....they are quite powerful you know.....Mar 28 08:05
_goblin_how about......Mar 28 08:06
_goblin_a snowboard then....you say you have a hill....why not use it.....?Mar 28 08:06
DaemonFCa carMar 28 08:06
DaemonFCI'm going to need a carMar 28 08:06
_goblin_a car would have difficulties if you are claiming 3foot of snow....Mar 28 08:07
_goblin_just as much as a bike.Mar 28 08:07
DaemonFCmaybe if it's the kind you guys drive :)Mar 28 08:07
DaemonFCno weight on it, 1.5 liter engineMar 28 08:07
DaemonFCI could see how this becomes a problem in winterMar 28 08:07
_goblin_sorry to disapoint but the engine really doesnt make much difference to the snow condition...Mar 28 08:08
DaemonFCyes it doesMar 28 08:08
_goblin_should I get a knackered up heavy US vehicle.Mar 28 08:08
DaemonFCI'd hate to have anything less than a V6Mar 28 08:08
_goblin_My wifes ford KA handles better in the snow than my AudiMar 28 08:08
DaemonFCfor starters, there's the snow, and then there's also accelerationMar 28 08:09
_goblin_like I say....the KA handles snowy hills far better than my TT.Mar 28 08:09
DaemonFCno acceleration means you'll be stuck trying to get out of a lot and onto the streetMar 28 08:09
DaemonFCpeople see you trying to get out and so they speed upMar 28 08:10
_goblin_no it doesn't....too much accelleration churns up the snow and causes slipage...your best best is a slow steady drive....try to accelerate too quite and your tyres spin.....thats basics.Mar 28 08:11
_goblin_*too quickMar 28 08:11
DaemonFCif they're bald, they willMar 28 08:11
DaemonFCget some proper tires with good tread and you won't have an issueMar 28 08:11
_goblin_in order to keep traction you can't accelerate too quick....you ever driven in the snow? you ever driven at all?Mar 28 08:11
DaemonFCdriven in the snow every winter for the last 10 yearsMar 28 08:12
_goblin_thats not immediately obvious to me....Mar 28 08:12
DaemonFCincluding down the highway in a white-outMar 28 08:12
DaemonFCcouldn't tell the field from the roadMar 28 08:13
_goblin_no sign posts?Mar 28 08:13
DaemonFCthe state lets some highways get that badMar 28 08:13
DaemonFConce in a whileMar 28 08:13
DaemonFCI mean nothing to guide youMar 28 08:13
DaemonFCexcept the truck you're followingMar 28 08:13
_goblin_then you are probably best off with a snowboard.Mar 28 08:13
_goblin_and you won't need a loanMar 28 08:14
_goblin_you can accelerate as fast as you like.....the less traction the better for a snowboard.Mar 28 08:14
DaemonFCThere's no way to get around without a carMar 28 08:14
DaemonFCthere's just no way toMar 28 08:14
_goblin_spiked shoes?Mar 28 08:14
_goblin_ski?Mar 28 08:15
_goblin_husky drawn sledge?Mar 28 08:15
DaemonFCyes, and what happens when I need to go to the store?Mar 28 08:15
DaemonFC3 miles awayMar 28 08:15
DaemonFCand make it back with stuffMar 28 08:15
_goblin_I think your best bet is the huskies then.Mar 28 08:15
_goblin_or reindeer?Mar 28 08:15
_goblin_yeah.....I think I can see you on a reindeer drawn sledge....Mar 28 08:16
_goblin_you could be like santa with your shopping on the baclMar 28 08:16
_goblin_*backMar 28 08:16
DaemonFCcar loan is really the only option hereMar 28 08:16
DaemonFCall joking asideMar 28 08:16
_goblin_sorry afk there....youre probably right...even reindeer would have probs with 3ft of snow......unless you fit them with stilts...Mar 28 08:22
_goblin_or tasteful booties.Mar 28 08:22
