speer is a fucking racetrack and it sucks.
when i was commuting i had to cross speer/downing a minimum of 2x per day. now i cross it a minimum of 5x/week.
i’ve almost gotten taken out there, my wife has almost gotten taken out there, and it’s probably where i will die eventually.

the wissahickon (a fantastic philly gem with 1800+ acres and 50+ miles of trail within city limits) feels like the one part that of the city that wasn’t touched, but almost every road thet goes down to the water is “____’s mill rd”. it’s reclaimed industrial wasteland, just the industry then wasn’t as rough as it is now. fantastic park tho

I remember upgrading my pc when I was playing the original GTA and having the game speed actually increase to a near unplayable state.
Midtown Madness also rocked in its own special weird Microsoft way.
Though I think in terms of hours spent doing car drivings in that era it was Twisted Metal 2 for me. Before the Gran Turismos of course.
midtown madness was a gem

Pretty low tier but I was getting home from a ride and was going about 15mph when I had a neighbor pass me about half a block from our houses. And of course they started merging back in front when I was about even with their rear wheels. To get 4 doors down the street about 5 seconds faster. Just hope these old fucks keel over or quit driving by the time my daughter is biking.

lol I missed in my rage that this person’s $1,400 bill includes a medical appointment. So I assume the breakdown is (1) shopping, $30, (2) eating, $20, (3) kinesiologist, $1350.
But also this gem

It’s morbidly funny to me that part of the reason I got into motorcycles and then bikes was that parking always stressed me out. Paying for parking, permits, tickets, circling lots, parking garages, I hate all that shit. I didn’t understand how it doesn’t drive the zillions of other drivers batty until I figured out that a typical driver says “Can’t find a legit parking spot where I want, guess I’ll just park in this sidewalk/bike lane/lawn/handicap spot/middle of the street because I’m probably not getting ticketed or towed”
