In the 40's and 50's our wonderful Urban Rulers decided to rip up all the rails systems that were in place and operating in many metropolitan areas. Rail & Electric Cars were replaced with the CAR. All that steel was probably used to make cars. If I could I'd take the train to work everyday. I lived in Europe and you don't need a car to live there. The train system is awesome!
They went one way and of course we went the other. Big Mistake!!

Kids Movie Roger Rabbit theme of the the movie showed in that time what the attitude of the rail system in that society. It's a Kids movie, but that point always stuck in my mind. Tear down Toon Town to build a Freeway!

When I ride in a plane and it's approaching I look down and see all those BLACK VEINS stretching thought the landscape. Pretty Ugly! What have we done?

I'll always drive a car and I love "Driving". Baby Boomer's were brought up to drive. Cars are my Hobie! In 40 or 50 years cars may only be in museums? I have enough cars to keep going for the rest of my life. So I'll be on the road as long as I can plop my Butt in the drivers seat, press the clutch and here that internal combution engine explode with life! It Music to my ears, slaping gears, reving that motor and crusing on my favorite road!

I live in Vermont and travel frequently to R.I. to visit Mom, and when I go through Boston, I say to myself " How can people put up with this everyday?" Stop & Go on a Highway? There are just too many cars down there, and not enough road to handle them all. I can't imagine LA or NY.
