Radio Shack Selling Subway Cars on eBay 272
David Cantrell writes "The Radio Shack Corporation (formerly the Tandy Corporation) headquarters in Fort Worth, TX was one of the only companies in the world to have its own private subway system. Its main purpose in life was to move employees from their parked cars to the office building. About a year or so ago, Radio Shack decided the subway system was no longer needed and they shut it down permanently. Well, they are now selling the subway cars on eBay. For $5000US, you can get your very own Radio Shack Subway Car. Rails sold separately. Click for the eBay auction page."

I think your neighbours would probably make it even more impossible by killing you as soon as they found out what your intentions would to do to their property valuations

It has come to my attention that you go around picking high quality Anonymous Coward comments and then passing them for your own. Even though karma-whoring is a noble quest and one much suited to your profile, perchance you would be able to accomplish the same effect through original thought and not through plagiarism?
Kind regards,
The AC collective.

Not to be a grammar nazi, but it was either the only or one of the few. It can't be in both states at once, unless subway cars are now in a state of quantum superposition, which, given their size, is doubtful.

My wife and I got swatted by our home owner's association for... (insert drum roll).. Parking in our driveway. It seems we're required to park in our garage unless the vehicle won't fit. Since then we've been looking for creative ways to piss off our neighbors while still following the rules. I have a rusty '91 van that I parked directly in front of the main offender's house in one of the approved parking spaces. Now they see it when they look our their window. I could get this train car and park it in my driveway. I'm certain that it won't fit in my garage.
