Finally, don't act like cars can't be fun. I'm all for phasing out the automobile and revolutionizing transport by returning to the ways of olde, but cars are fun. I understand some of you are grandparents and don't like someone revving their straight pipes mustang down your block on a Saturday morning. That's completely reasonable. But my god does this community act like you can't have fun in a car. I absolutely enjoy loud and fast and powerful cars, because that's an incredible work of engineering and it simply can be fun. Going fast can be fun. Being in a car that purrs like a lion can be fun. Going offroading or drifting or racing or anything in a car can be fun.
You know where this got us, don’t you ?
When cars were first used on public roads, people had to walk in front of them waving a flag, to war people of the danger.
Every day since then, we have ceded more of the public realm, more of our heath, our safety and have put the very future of the planet at risk with idolatry of the combustion engine
This sub is a tiny pocket of resistance. A safe space for people who now now reject how society has been built around the car.
And here you are, telling us how we should act.
I think it would be best if you took you happy little “engine go vroom” stories and fucked off. And when you get there, fuck off a bit more and don’t come back.
Thanks and get lost.
