It makes sense that after a whole generation drove suvs to avoid being seen in minivans we had to stick a 2 foot bed on them so the next generation could avoid being seen in suvs

crush them all imo

I like to roll down my windows and turn up my music when driving so that people on the sidewalk can appreciate my taste in music whenever I drive by. I think that some of them would like to know the name of the band I'm listening to, so they can listen too.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

I'm a lot happier since I started working from home and stopped driving. I enjoy working on cars as a hobby and I have nice looking E46 and a couple other cars. Cars are fun to work on and make look nice but they're an expensive headache to rely on for daily transportation and most cars are boring as poo poo so there's even less fun to be had.

I'm lucky though, because I live in a small city of ~50,000 people and everything I need is within about a mile of my house.

I like cars and will never use public transportation. The world is entirely designed around my point of view and therefore I find anyone complaining about cars to be silly, like we're just going to abandon all the infrastructure built in the last hundred years so we can walk everywhere (or even more crazy, use a bicycle lmao)

eager to read a lot people complaining about cars tho

I would hate to live so far away from where I worked that I couldn't cycle commute, but I also wish I had a viable public transport option for those days where I was too tired to ride or had to carry something heavy.

Portland has a Potemkin transportation system: Max lines usually don't go anywhere useful, the Streetcar goes around 10 miles an hour, and most buses come every half an hour at best. It isn't LA bad, but I think most people like its "concept" of a transportation system rather than the one that exists.

Anyway, thankfully, it seems like most of the rest of the world is reversing course. Once you get out of North America (especially one country in particular), things usually get a lot better.

Keeping a car in lane is like the most basic of driving skills and yet 10% of people fail at it from everytime I go on the road, not to mention the other road hoggers, tailgaters and other assorted idiots who think signal lights don't exist

i enjoy putzing around backroads and small towns for literally no reason. cars are also good if you need to move a large thing.

other than that, replacing light rail with freeways is easily the worst domestic policy in american history

should require a CDL to drive anything larger than a minivan, driving tests should be much harder as well. also big roads should have train tracks plopped right in the middle of them

Detroit (my home) justly suffers! Justly! for the sins our ancestors unleashed on the world. To this day a legion of engineers are hard at work in what should be a swamp, bringing about yet more evil. If there were any justice, it would be the first place to be cleansed by nuclear armageddon. Woe to it, and woe to us.
