Me too! (2012 VW Passat SE, 2.5L and 277,000+ miles)

I enjoy driving when I can actually drive. What I don’t enjoy is having what should be a 30-minute commute turn into 45 because of backups with no apparent cause, or a stalled car in one lane being responded to by six emergency vehicles that block additional lanes, or the speed limit being reduced by 10 mph because of…

I think being forced to drive in terrible traffic makes people miserable. I’m ok with just driving. 

Yeah, it's definitely more widespread than "a few select neighborhoods in a couple of cities", but it's still a lot more uncommon than it should be. Car dependence should not be a thing in a city that is midsized or larger.

“Unfortunately for all of us, outside of a few select neighborhoods in a couple of cities, there’s only so much you can do to get around without a car in the U.S.”

I really wish more people that feel that they need to drive all the time would realize that letting communities, cities, counties, and states invest in public infrastructure like cycling lanes, dedicated bus lanes, light rail, and trams means that fewer people will be on the road and traffic will be better for…

I grew up in a time where my parents would take me for rides. Just ride around. Then I used to do it in highschool. I still try to take the long way home every once and a while. Usually other people on the road is what makes it miserable for me.

“...neighbors come together and organize around the intersection”

My Cybertruck wonder for the week: is the Cybertruck made out of the same steel as Starship so that Musk can offload the R&D of working with that very difficult to work with material onto all the investors in Tesla?  The more we learn about the exterior that drives all the stupidness about the car; the more that I…

Concrete barriers with big metal spikes on them pointing towards the road should do the job.

I always feel sorry for the drivers when I see them on the street.

1st:I through trump was going to end inflation! Good to see his mishandling of COVID will continue to linger and haunt him.

The Fit is the best car. It’s fun to triumphantly shout “the Fit fits baybee!” anytime you swing into a questionable parking spot, and I swear I could fit an entire sofa in it if I needed to. My sister calls hers The Truck after moving cross country in it and it swallowing some impressively large thrift store hauls…

Ch-ch-ch-chia!

We had a 2014 Mazda5 and loved it as a relentlessly efficient TARDIS of a car. If you need six seats in a small package the only real answers are buy the best 2014-15 Mazda5 you can find or a Transit Connect. Otherwise a Honda Fit is a sensible choice. I would avoid the Kia Soul, the older ones were a meh driving…

I’m sure Amazon doesn’t even prepare their drivers for what they have to deal with, that would be openly admitting how shitty their work conditions are. It’s a bait-and-switch. Only the extremely desperate would take the job if they were honest.

The Ford Transit is probably the best newer vehicle analogous to the Mazda 5. I can't think of anything else even close. The Fit is a great car (there's one in my driveway), but it's definitely a size class (or two) smaller. The Metris is definitely a size class larger and purportedly a miserable vehicle and worst on…

Honestly, even an automatic would be more fun than most cars on the road. This list is just the cars that trigger people irrationally.

looks like two iphone 15's coming down the road at you

F1 prices? Sure. 250GTO prices? No way in hell.
