Yeah I was gonna say, maybe not most but many car enthusiasts I know are loud about being in favor of more public transit, because:
Traffic sucks
Cars are in fact somewhat complicated and need to be maintained, when they are not, this endangers everyone, so just let people who can’t handle that ride a bus or light rail or bike
New and used car market/prices is/are a total shit show, most people are just getting fleeced
… etc
I think the OP is confusing ‘morons who are flexxing via cars they can’t afford’ vs ‘actual car enthusiast’.
There certainly is an overlap, but the obnoxious idiot morons are obviously overrepresented on social media comapred to reality, because non obnoxious idiot morons tend to not be attention seeking thus do not flood the internet with videos about how ‘awesome’ they are.
Definitely. I hate cars in general. They make just fucking going outside an awful experience because of the literally, actually carcinogenic gasses they spew into the air I breath as some daft prick drives by on their way to pick up a jug of milk; however, one of my favourite youtube channels is Bad Obsession Motorsport where they’ve just “completed” Project Binky: a Austin Mini that they shoved a v8 into and gave 4WD. It’s a really cool little car.
Really the only people that should drive are people with mobility issues, bus drivers, trades workers (though they might be able to get away with a good electric cargo bike), and most emergency response workers. Everyone else should BMW: Bike, Metro, or Walk. Also the odd project/collector car on a Sunday afternoon or whatever.
