I hate public transportation, nor have the time due to work/school.

I don't understand how one can hate public transportation. It's far cheaper than driving, and generally much safer.

Seriously.
How many people died in 9/11? 2800?
How many fatal car accidents happen in the US every year? Oh, that's right: more than 35,000.

Believe it or not, planes are actually safer than cars... think about it, many less objects to fly into at 3,500 feet up.

I kind of like flying because getting places so fast is awesome, but it's expensive...

seriously, this has nothing to do with where the frame was made, and everything to do with how it was made.
and fwiw, i think that the sunday frame is almost certainly the most advanced frame on the market today, jim c did his ****ing research with that thing. and I know beerman will hate me for saying so, but I genuinely think it's better made than anything S&M are doing. the amount of s&ms I've seen which are welded on the cock is untrue.
frame building is a complicated business, seamless or rolled tubes(see t1 for an example of rolled tubes), back purging, how precisely it's mitred, gusset design, heat treating, all have an affect on the final product.

I can't think of any S&M frames which are designed for the sort of abuse (Fat Mike Hoder, anyone?) that the Sunday! is tailored for. That being said, I won't disagree with you: it's definitely a progressive step for BMX frames. I can't say that any of the three S&M frames I've had (or the four pairs of bars, for that matter) have been poorly made, though.

I've been in 22 automobile accidents. I KNOW they aren't safer than planes.
The Sunday! frame is IMO is the ultimately designed frame.

Now don't mistake this as me being a bad driver. More than 1/2 of them I was a passenger. Only 1 was I the fault...and then, only partial...both drivers got tickets.
