That's hosed up, you can't gouranga children. Once I saw a lifted pickup with tinted windows and a flag mounted on each rear corner - one Canadian, one confederate. People booed the driver while they tried and failed to parallel park and they gave up and floored it out of there. This was pre-pandemic and this pre-convoy. Anyway ask me anything about never owning a car. It's pretty simple you just let your learner's permit expire and then take a bike/transit.

mystes posted:Of course, in reality obviously not all americans buy new cars since there is plenty of demand for used cars, but it does seem like there are also lots of people who do buy new cars and then trade them in every few years for some insane reason. Because a new car every two or three years is what my daddy and his daddy did. It’s a mark of being middle class and making it in America, and I will show everyone that I’m middle class and that I’ve made it, even if it bankrupts me.

If some people didn't buy new cars every few years the rest of us wouldn't have any used cars to buy. I can't even imagine buying a new car. Just unbelievably expensive.

my dad always leased a new car every two or three years but i think he got okay deals on them because he only drove like 30 miles a week or something. still a gigantic waste of money though. the dream is to drive zero miles a week and have no car payment or car

Pryor on Fire posted:The only thing worse than diesel is biodiesel. And possibly ethanol. some time ago i had an elderly diesel car I ran on chip fat. I'd leave for work at 5am and the fuel was so thick it would crank over, noisily, for AGES until, just before the battery died it would burst into life, again, very loudly, and spew out a huge smokescreen. I'm surprised none of my neighbours ever hit me with a wooden bat. did 55mpg on cooking oil though, very cheap motoring. Gripweed posted:Awhile back I tried that show, listened to the most recently released episode. It turned out to be an interview with a fat acceptance activist. The main thrust of the episode was that we need to do away with the harmful stereotype that cycling is a good way to lose weight. They also talked about how "obese" is a slur and how "morbidly obese" makes no sense as a diagnosis because how can someone be morbidly obese if they're still alive? just read the transcript, and she seems to want people to promote cycling but without ever mentioning fitness? they link to a podcast which claims to 'debunk weight loss" which I just have to hear. over 41,000 patrons

Car sewer sounds like it could be kinda cool like the place where you start your adventure fighting tough mutant rats and work your way up to the mutant ninja turtles, or I guess it could be the tunnel where old lovely cars are flushed out into the ocean?
