    Sorry, but I’m honestly hoping Cars wins this. Fuckcars is so obnoxious and pretentious. Like, I get it, cars are terrible for the environment/communal spaces, but there’s a lot that needs to change before everyone can eliminate their personal vehicle. That sub acts like you’re Satan if you own a car.

    ETA: thanks for proving my point with all of the vitriol. One guy blaming cancer on me for my cars brakes. One guy openly admitting that you don’t get change unless you upset people so why be nice? Except, you have to upset the right people. Not your potential allies. That just alienates instead. But hey, keep yelling at a guy who said you yell too much. That will really show em 😂

      I think most people in that sub are American car owners that are advocating for cities to be less car dependant

        And as someone who lives in California right by where the “high speed rail” that’s been promised for decades will be built, I’ll again point out that until other things progress, you cant remove cars, and acting any differently, like that sub often does, shows their niavette.

          Sure! So how do things progress towards more walkable cities, with useable public transit?

          Oh yeah. People gotta get pissed enough to actually have the motivation to effect real change.

          So drive your disposable $40,000 gutless wonder to and from everything, I’ll continue to give you the finger every time you forget people who ride bikes exist.

          And take my cabriolet on the occasional pleasure cruise, because it’s actually worth driving.

          Because yeah, cars can be cool. But not on the fucking daily, that’s exhausting. Zing!
