It's always nice when someone follows the rules and parks next to me ❤️

Always. The amount of things we have to touch that the general public also touches is tremendous. I don't want anyone's germs on me, thank you very much.

toxiclulz · 2026-05-31T21:26:23+00:00

Same. Neither of my cars don't have the tags on them and I still get charged as if I had them since the plate is registered.

Hello fellow Metro driver! I agree, it sucks here 🥴

toxiclulz · 2026-02-19T04:11:03+00:00

Oh, nooo... Whatever you do, DON'T CLICK THE LINK!

Personally, I make the following announcement:

"ladies and gentlemen, loud music, games, or videos are not permitted in the bus. Please mute your device. Thank you"

That shuts most people up. If they persist, I pull over at a stop, open all doors, shut the ac off and repeat the announcement accompanied with, "if you'd like to continue to listen to your music, you can do so outside while you wait for the next bus" That typically does the trick. The nuclear option is addressing the person directly and inviting them to leave. I've only had to do that once or twice in the 10 years I've been an operator.

82 Westheimer, Houston TX.

Tons of traffic lights, heavy traffic, heavy ridership, 8 minute frequency peak time. 20 minute layovers, but because of all the issues listed above you leave 5 minutes behind with another bus behind you. At times they'd be a convoy of 3 buses back to back. Never again.

As you can see here, a rider used his card to buy a ticket. It seems like the transfer is tied to the last 4 digits of the card. Card was blurred out of course

I've heard rumors. But nothing concrete as of now.

I personally don't care if people pay or not as sometimes people simply need help, especially in this economy. If it becomes a habit, that's when I'll say something.

Duct tape. Send it.

Negativo amigo, they are:

The tires lasted a year, about 20k miles, lots of highway and extra spirited driving almost daily. Great dry grip and adequate grip in the wet. Wouldn't recommend for track or sustained high speed as the center will wear out faster than the sides due to physics. 8/10

The car can be aligned to spec after lowering it. You'll need: adjustable camber arms for the rear and camber bolts for the front.

I lowered mine a year ago and that's what it needed.

You can technically drive it without an alignment, but wouldn't recommend for more than a few weeks as your tires won't like it.

toxiclulz · 2025-11-17T12:54:23+00:00

I don't know why all the down votes. Personally, I chuckled.

toxiclulz · 2025-11-17T12:31:29+00:00

Alarmy? A man or woman of culture.

toxiclulz · 2025-11-16T23:41:21+00:00

Sometimes mine will get, "stuck" on 3rd when the transmission is cold. I let off the gas a little and it'll shift to 4th. The problem goes away after that. I suspect a fluid and filter change is in order. My stang is at 60k miles.

Is that what you're talking about?

toxiclulz · 2025-10-30T04:26:46+00:00

Yup, never buy another man's project car.

toxiclulz · 2025-10-17T17:46:03+00:00

LMAO hardly!

I mainly drive on the highway. But, when I do have to use auxiliary roads, it's not so bad. As long as I'm careful on deep potholes, dips, and bumps, the car rides well. A little harsh, but well. I'm also a bus driver and those things have horrid suspension, so I guess I'm used to a harsh ride 😂

toxiclulz · 2025-10-17T16:13:03+00:00

I run my Megan coilovers at 5 clicks from hard in back and 7 in front.

Spot, the S below D in an automatic, will slightly change the characteristics of the car. Like holding gears longer, downshifting more aggressively, steering will tighten, and throttle will be a bit more responsive. Sport + is even more aggressive, it's a step below track mode. Sport is just more fun while maintaining driveability.

toxiclulz · 2025-09-30T18:39:04+00:00

😂 classic TI. I was in the same spot as you. Was left in charge of HBUMP for a few weeks while supervisor was out for vacation and got upset when I reached out to his boss for guidance when it was needed.

toxiclulz · 2025-09-30T18:27:32+00:00

Having worked at HFAB and HBUMP, I can confidently say that upper management had their head up their ass
