Mythbike vs. 2007 Car

Hey everyone... Since everyone loves Wes's reviews, I thought I would share
this with you. Wes recently did a review of a product called Mythbike and
compared it to a 2007 car. Here are his notes. I also had a chance to
interview him on about this comparison and a dialog of our conversation is
included well.

Thank you for reading, and let's thank Wes for sharing this information with
us.

Mythbike vs. 2007 Car

Cost
MythBike - $39
Car - Probably about $50000, but that is just an estimate. It may be more

Tires
MythBike - Only 2 needed, but gives more control. Probably will only need
to be changed once or twice in the lifetime of the bike.
Car - 4 needed originally. You need to replace them every 10k miles

Fuel
MythBike - None needed
Car - Lots needed, and it is getting more expensive all the time.

Parking
MythBike - pretty much anywhere, can even keep it in my house
Car - Often hard to find a place, You need to have a garage at your house.
Probably should count this in the cost of ownership. You often have to pay
to park, as well.

Insurance
Bike - Free
Car - $1000/year or more

Registration
Bike - Free
Car - Varies depending on location, but just more money you throw at the
solution.

So, there you have it. The ultimate in transportation - a MythBike. See my
website for more details. Mythbike will cost you $39 and
that is all you will ever spend. The Car will cost over $300k in the
lifetime of it. And, the bike works just as good, even better if you ask
me.
I've personally never owned a car and never will - they are a total rip off.
Actually, I owned one once, but it was given to me. And, I didn't pay to
put it on the road.
I just rolled back and forth in the driveway - didn't see what the fuss was
all about, I could do that with my bike.
I just can't understand why anyone would ever spend money on one.

Follow-up interview with Wes:

Question: Wes, what do you have against cars that you are bashing them?
Wes: I have nothing against cars. I'm just trying to do a fair comparison
between them.

Question: Well, this isn't a very fair comparison, it seems really one
sided. Don't you think you are leaving some things out?
Wes: Shut up you stupid moron. Tell me where it is incorrect and I'll fix
it, or stop bitching.

Question: What if you want to take a trip that is 250 miles from your home?
Wes: I could care less. I rarely leave my home, and when I do, I don't go
far. Only idiots need to travel that far from home.

Question: Okay, how about just going to work? Wouldn't you rather get there
in 15 minutes instead of 50?
Wes: I don't work, I'm retired. So, your argument is stupid. It doesn't
matter to me. Besides, my bike goes just as fast as your car
Response: There is no possible way that your bike goes as fast as my car.
Wes: Well, then you are stupid. It does and I don't have to prove it to
you.

Question: What about weather considerations - do you want a bike when it is
raining or snowing?
Wes: I could care less. I just stay home when the weather is bad.

Question: What if you've bought tickets to a show and it is raining as you
get ready to leave?
Answer: I wouldn't pay for tickets to a show, what a waste. Why would anyone
do that? They must be stupid. I've got all the entertainment I need right
here with my MythTV box and 4 HD cards. Have I mentioned how good my MythTV
setup is?

Question: You didn't really build the bike that cheap did you? Can you post
the sources so that other people can build one as well?
Wes: Yes, I did - are you calling me a liar? You are probably just too
stupid to research it yourself.

Question: Why didn't you just buy a bike at the store?
Wes: Because they charge way too much more them. Anyone who buys one like
that and can't build one themselves must be stupid - it is easy.

Question: What is this about having to change tires every 10k miles in your
car? They last much longer than that.
Wes: No they don't. I could point you to a dozen web pages that state this,
but am not going to. Do your own research.
Response: Actually, they do. I've had tires last 75k miles. Tires often
come with 40k and higher warranties.
Wes: Then you are not only stupid, but a liar too. I know better than to
listen to your lying comments.
Response: I'm not lying, Wes. Only in sports cars with low profile, high
performance tires would you need to even consider changing tires at such a
low mileage
Wes: Shut up. A tire is a tire, you know it and I know it. And all the
people reading this can see right through your lies.

Question: Where did you come up with the amount of $1000 for insurance? It
is much less than that for people with decent driving histories.
Wes: I know what I'm talking about. More lies from you, I see.

Question: Seriously, Wes... Why are bashing cars so much?
Wes: Shut up - are you stupid? I already told you - go back and read it.
I'm just trying to make a fair comparison.

Question: Whatever, Wes. Are you finished?
Wes: Hell, no. I'm going to keep telling all the people that are totally
sick of my crap. BTW - Al Gore didn't invent the internet - I did. Also,
I'm reviewing a cool new product called MythSex - it's free and anyone can
do it themselves. I'll let you know what I think.

It'd be funny, if it weren't just so true ;-).

Too bad it's such an inside joke.

That was hillarious, , , ,Thanks. ..
BTW, you could have gone into something weird like Wes trying to say
it was easier to have sex on a bike than it is in a car. . . .It's an
angle you could have exploited with great comedic possibilities. . .
