|
|
Posted by Manwithaplan on Wed Dec 23 16:55:46 2009 Great News! The Mack will be running on 42nd Street on Monday.the 28th. I have been told by the crew at ENY that the Mack runs like someone is chasing it. 7144 is in the transmission rebuilding stage, and should be completed sometime in the near future. MWAP |

Four A-minuses from a prestigious Ivy League institution known for grade deflation, and this douchebag calls me a know-nothing. Does that seem a bid odd to anyone else here?Oh, and Brian. You, like Ann Coulter, are a disgrace to Cornell University and its thousands of alumni around the world. |

Thats what I mean, not that they will be running routes on 42nd st necessarily rather they have been restored and will still be here when he gets back. Why are you so disenchanted with him anyway? Equal rides for everyone. |

Just because I said they'd still be here when he gets back didn't mean I meant they would be in service. I meant they would still be here, as in exist, when he gets back. |

I've heard nothing but bad things about you from Cornell University students and alumni. I've also heard that your A- grades may not have even been above the mean. On the other hand, I am a distinguished alumni who has done much for the University. Feel free to carry on like a jackass, you dipshit. |

They'll still be here even next year, I think he'll survive. And you need to tone it down a bit, you're past the point of obnoxious with this thread. |

If you can, feel sorry for him. Remember, he has to live with himself. You can choose not to... Now, can you control yourself? Can the rest of you, who are troubled by him or anyone else here, control yourselves? If not, let the band play on.... |

I've heard from a friend who saw 6259 heading up to MJQ depot, that the bus still can rock and roll. My fond memories of the Mack were when it came to a stop, it would sway from side to side. I can't wait to hear the sound of the engine and exhaust which is quite distinct from a GMC. |

I've got a couple of gallons of paint where the pigments have separated, so I'm going to bring them along to get everything mixed up again. Might even bring a couple of jars of peanut butter with a lot of oil on top. |
