Hyper loop makes more sense than boring company

Mass transit is better than transporting individual cars in an underground highway. You won't need as many parking spaces at your destination, which is likely downtown where there's no parking.

No I think they just got approved to start digging in DC. Or actually that's boring company I think. Not sure about hyperloop.

Stupid thread is stupid. I wish I could see on my mobile who started the thread, but it only shows who was last to reply.

It would be a nice feature - I could ignore all threads created by bimmer456 because past history has shown them to be inane at best.

Hyperloop is a decades old concept still in the proving mode in CA & NV. They are testing right now.
I have no idea what you are talking about when referring to "Boring". Digging for a subway?

Neat idea for a thread, but provide context. Using links is helpful.

Ooh my feelings are hurt you're going to ignore me. Something tells me this is one person with multiple profiles. Some teenage prankster who thinks such immaturity passes for humor.
