Does a toothless kiwi carny help you into the ride too? $30 to go nowhere .. sounds like the typical taxi ride in Detroit.
Seeing how you cant pass anyone on the same track I imagine the first time you get stuck behind a sleeping homeless person and have to push them to your destination you'de lose interest really fast.

Kiwi? nice rascist comment. When you write stories about Africa, do you refer to them as __gers?

First of all I dont write stories about 'Africa' but if I did I would know the difference between an egregious racial slur such as the one you infer when you speak of the multi-colored continent of Africa and the worldwide common use [ even in New Zealand ] of the term Kiwi to describe a person from New Zealand.
Theres nothing 'racist' or derogatory about the term at all, no more than calling an Australian an "Aussie" or someone from the USA a "Yank". So youre either trying to stir controversy where none is needed [ read as eTroll ] or you lack the cultured education to know the difference.
