No biggie biker, and I'm not trying to make a convert out of you. Mostly venting, and I was very annoyed by the poor quality of argumentation in that site, so I tried exposing it a little.

Cars w/ DRLs would be down the list of reasons that would keep me from living there - no offense to the canucks on the board.

Devil's Running Lights, hey Biker?

To extinguish my DRL's I just drive around with my e-brake partially engaged.

The weather would probably be at the top of the list.

I only jokingly mentioned this because the other day released the clutch and the DRL warning light came on...ding, ding

I thought, 'Crap, my DRL's are out. Hmmm...I don't think I'll be bothered to get them fixed.'

I went outside and looked at them and they were off indeed.

I got back in the car and right away I see that the e-brake is still partially engaged. Me a dumbass!!

I guess it all depends on the criteria used.
Now that this has been totally
A better list was Forbes' most liveable cities: Zurich was #1 and Geneva was #3.

Biker, who had a chance to live in Ottawa but management decided to screw him.

Anyways, yes this thread has been hijacked. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

What exactly does "livable" mean? I guess best place to live if you have lots of $$? (i say this because its a forbes list)

hijacked indeed!

But while we're at it, I like Zurich, it's a beautiful, quiet city. IMO though, many streets are very narrow, but maybe that's just culture shock since it's the first place I see when I get off the airplane.
