    e-pill - I read a couple weeks ago where you commented on a pic of a building in queens and you said your something about living near there. I commute by car from North Jersey to Queens every day and it's not that bad. Of course you hit traffic on the Van Wyck or the Cross Bronx sometimes but for the most part there are no cops and I can make the trip in 30 minutes on a good day. I gather you'd be taking the LIE, same thing, hardly any cops and you can gun it if you need to.

    I can't deal with rude people on public transportation for that long on the regular. I tried it and I just can't hang because my personality got me in arguments and shouting matches due to a lack of respect and general rude behavior of people. Taking public trans in the summer SUCKS too so I don't mind the drive - gives me a chance to decompress and talk on my bluetooth.

    • i used to live in queens, but i now live in long island.. the gig is way out in suffix county..e-pill
    • i live in nassau and to get to suffix is far as fuck.. not sure i want to deal with that at all..e-pill
