I love cars. Fixing them is a pain in the ass but a fun challenge. Driving them can be fun, too. But, I think I'd love some kickass, efficient, abundant, affordable public transportation even more.
God. We could have had it by now. It'd be so rad. But no.
That's a bit of a nuanced take. This is Lemmy, please choose one side and stick to it, no matter what.
Cars are fascinating from an engineering perspective, can be a neat hobby, and are useful in many scenarios. None of this makes me feel any better when I'm walking home from the bus stop, choking on exhaust and feeling unsafe as I quadruple check both ways before stepping on to the street.
Cars can be cool, but they are mostly fucking awful in pretty much every way imaginable.
Also my original comment was obviously a joke and not an attempt at a serious discussion about the pros and cars of cars.
