            My transport decisions are usually based on what will save me the most time in getting from one place to another. My archenemies on the roads are slow people, who I’m positive purposefully get in lines four lanes across in order to block up the entire freeway. They don’t understand that it’s my freeway, and I let them use it, but only on the condition that I’m allowed to move as freely as I want. Most of the time, though, they don’t seem to remember this unspoken agreement. That makes me unhappy.

            The Coaster has none of these fine “safe” drivers. This is nice in that I don’t have to deal with them, and a quick ride to wherever I’m going is a sure thing, but it also takes away the satisfaction I get when I can pull in front of someone who’s going 40 in the fast lane and gun it till they’re no more than a speck in the rear view mirror. It also takes away any freedom I have to go where I want, when I want, which is a very big minus. So while on a daily basis it may be the cheaper and faster route, I think I’ll stick with my truck for now.
