Nothing intolerant about trannies, although I must say I really detest the Chrysler kamikaze trannies that I had in my mini-vans in the late 80's and 90's.....POS.

It wasn't till I bought my 2004 Toyota mini van that I had a automatic tranny that didn't blow up (easy boys!) after 80,000 miles.

Preferred stick (easy boys!) until I learned you can't buy them any more unless they're in a sports car cage.

Disney gives you something like 5 single speed passes with your ticket purchase and you have to register which rides you want to use them on, ahead of time.  They don't cost anything and you can't buy them.  That way, you can be almost assured you will at least get to ride the 5 most important-to-you rides, almost regardless of how many people are in the park.  It seems a bit confusing, but it is actually pretty brilliant.  I was quite impressed.

Disney's FastPass. It's done from the Disney app on your phone and works quite well once you know what's what.

The American democratic/capitalist mindset says, "I want to pick," "I want to decide,"

So I should let you decide for me?

The communist/socialist mindset says: "I want to pick for you", "I want to decide for you"

Well, not really.  I said I didn't want to have to decide which LINE to get in that might be magically best and would prefer a single line that guarantees the fairest time and most consistent, predictable outcome.  The doesn't mean I want the government deciding things for me.... I am a moderate Libertarian, you know.

Now we are getting somewhere, citizens!

Snip...

As an aside, I am one of those who will break out of the single traffic line, and block the open lane well ahead of the merge point while also holding my position in the single line. Only when I'm in the cage, though.

I'm not one who normally tries to get ahead of the pack under these circumstances but I've seen 18 wheelers who have taken it upon themselves to block the open lane and it pisses me off. I always have the same comment for those assholes. "Who the :censored: does that asshole think he is?"   >:(

I always applaud the guy who's willing to do it. It makes the line move so much more smoothly, which is appreciated especially these days when there is so much construction going on. I even pat myself on the back.

So you choose to be an ass on the highway and in your words 'impose your will' on others. That makes you just as much a part of the problem as the line cutter you hate.

Well somebody has to be right, so I'm glad to volunteer whenever I can. Problem solved.  ;D Obviously, ass is a relative term.  :P

Blocking the open lane and impleading traffic flow would be illegal. While passing all the cars in the open lane and then trying to merge at the last moment is not illegal. It's assholy but not illegal.

Personally I think the two lane zipper mesh method works best and I'll be the A-hole that runs down the open lane (I'm rarely alone in this). I've been in a long line where most get into the moving open lane early and the line gets really long and it doesn't move any faster than the zipper because of the gaper's block factor at the choke point (if they don't have to concentrate on merging, folks are going to look around at what's going on instead of using their skinny pedal on the right) . When there is no warning sign a mile or two back, those that are fresh on the scene have no way of knowing what's going on and they'll automatically go into the open lane and run down to the merge while the rest of us sit and watch. I've sat there too often, I'm not doing that anymore. What really ticks me off is when they do tell you a mile back that there is one lane but they don't tell you if it's going to be one lane for 25 miles or only 500 feet. People racing to get ahead of dump trucks and other slow vehicles when the one lane thing is only going to be for a very short distance makes no sense but how are we to know?

But the problem recurs after you pass through the bottleneck, unless there is another fellow with a similar "assholier than thou" attitude willing to play traffic cop. Perhaps, for the good of all travellers on that road, you should just park indefinitely in the closed lane?  ;D

Don't give me any ideas. Assholier than thou... FOR THE WIN! I think I will just go back to capitalist mindset... first come, first merged. And fight for the best spot. Survival of the fastest. No more blocking for me... you guys changed my mind
