electric car

something nice to do for the environment, especially if you live in a country where a large percentage of the energy is clean. even though manufacturing it has a big impact on the environment, because of those darn batteries that every electric car company, and not only, is working on improving to the point of exasperation, with your purchase, you would be supporting the research to build better things, faster.

E.R. Car

The term "E.R. Car" is used to illustrate how much money a trip to a local hospital emergency room (local E.R.) will cost. So if the typical price of a car runs anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000 for a used car, and then anywhere from $30, 000 to $70,000 for a new car, then it is not unreasonable, in today's American healthcare environment, to equate the price of one car to the cost of one emergency room visit.

A similar term is "E.R. House," used to describe the cost of emergency room care for a truly catastrophic medical situation where the price of just one emergency room visit equates to the price of a buying a house.
"I got taken to the emergency room in an ambulance, and after all the x-Rays, all the blood work, all the CT scans and after consulting with four different specialists, the emergency room sent me home and then billed me for over $45,000. That was my first ever E.R. Car in my whole life, and I hope it was my last."

Metroliner Cab car

The ex-metroliner cab car is a NPCU (non-powered control unit) cab car made from the Budd Metroliner Electric multiple unit, when Amtrak inherited the metroliners from penn central when it started in May 1st 1971, during their run they were proven to be mechanically very unreliable, Since The trainsets were, except for the propulsion systems, a near-identical match to the Amfleet coaches were converted (29 of them) into NPCU cab cars. While the rest either converted into geometry cars, work trains, DOT Trains or scrapped. The fleet numbers for them are 9630–9652, 9709, 9822, 9825–9828. And primary used on the keystone, valley flyer and Hartford lines. They along with the amfleet coaches will be replaced by Siemens venture/airo trainsets in the early 2030s
One day on the Amtrak Keystone train to New York, I realized this would be one of the last times I’d experience the Metroliner cab car before the Siemens Venture trainsets took over. A group of girls boarded a few rows behind me, their laughter cutting through the train’s hum. One girl stood out: a VSCO girl with an oversized scrunchie, high-waisted shorts, and of course, her bright Pink hydroflask

As she fumbled with her drink, the sounds of “sksksks” filled the air, followed by an exaggerated “and I oop!” I glanced back, and saw her filming a TikTok while her friends dropped their flasks. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any more chaotic, she caught my eye and shot me a bright smile. “Do you want to be in it?” she called, her voice bursting with energy.

“Sure, why not?” I replied, feeling my annoyance fade. Maybe this was the future of train travel: a mix of the old and the new, blending memories with modern trends.

As I joined their TikTok, we struck silly poses, and I found myself laughing at the absurdity of it all. For a moment, we were just kids having fun on a train, capturing a fleeting memory. Despite their vibrant energy being so different from my past train rides, I realized that change could be okay. I might miss the Metroliner cab car, but this unexpected adventure would stick with me long after the trains had changed.
