Wait, Singapore is also carbrained:
View attachment 6858692

These people are funny. Are they just trying to be contrarian at this point?--East and Southeast Asia are nowhere near as "carbrained" as North America. About as much as their precious public transit paradises in Europe (source):



Have they also stopped glazing China for kicking people off their property to build public railroads in record time?

What makes the example of Singapore particularly interesting is that it's one of the few examples of congestion pricing that people had available--prior to its installment in NYC--to point at and say, "Look, it worked before! Singaporeans hardly ever drive!" So congestion fees don't cure "car brain rot" after all, it appears ... ?

Fundamentally, their idea of who drives what is wrong. Every single city and town on Earth, save for extremely isolated and/or poor areas, has cars.

Corruption, poverty, and policies can price out the common man from a vehicle, but the wealthy will always be able to afford cars, and most people with money will want to get one.

What makes the example of Singapore particularly interesting

I don't think they would like Singapore as an example if they were aware how harsh it is on criminals. These are unironically the abolition police and prison types. They are not fans of law enforcement. See, anti-car/anti-urbanism isn't just about making cities walk-able. A lot of retarded progressive causes tact a bunch of other unnecessary shit unto their demands (intersectionality) to advance their dumb agenda. The omnicause is real.

This is what I've been saying for months. Whether it's the whole face-eating leopards problem or the fact that normies are finally waking up to the bike lane problem, even solid blue areas are speaking up against bike lanes. (It also speaks to the liberal mindrot that the moment you have second thoughts about one issue in modern progressivism you're a pariah if you speak out).

Imagine thinking a car that size is "hard to park". The real answer is that they should trade it in for something else because even I would start biking everywhere before driving that fucking thing. Nissan Juke, gotta be kidding...

What is it with people like that not trusting themselves not to hurt people with cars, guns, etc. Are they trying to say they'd impulsively run someone over because that's what it sounds like. "I might hurt a pedestrian!" ONLY IF YOU PURPOSEFULLY RUN THEM OVER OR DRIVE DRUNK. Normal people don't do that shit!

Damn if my parents gave me a car I'd be the happiest man in the world.

I have a strange feeling a lot of the fuckbikes folks actually do have a history of driving drunk/running over pedestrians/suspended licenses for reckless driving. Hence, why a lot of their "public transportation/trains/monorails are the bestest" arguments include "can drink booze on trains. Some passenger trains even have bars!" You know who prioritizes being able to drink booze during their morning commute? Alcoholics.

On the topic, due to crimes in metros there are plans to put cops on all the nyc metros, right? Has there been any chimpout on that?

My first car was a 2001 Chevy Silverado my grandmother gave me. It was clapped out and actually hard to parallel park (normal parking is still easy with a pickup. If you find it hard, you need more practice). I still had to do it regularly, so I got good. My current car is a subcompact Honda Fit, which should be trivial to park anywhere (and yet I see urban soccer moms take 5 minutes to pull a Prius into a parking space. It takes me less than 30 seconds to park my SUV, even in a packed lot). If 16 year old me could get used to parallel parking a big 1/2 ton pickup on tight city streets on the regular, they can learn to parallel park a damn compact crossover (that has a backup camera. They're playing on easy mode and still losing!).

And it's always the stereotypical libshit cars that beget the worst drivers. Subarus, Jeeps, and especially Teslas (automated cruise control makes most people worse drivers). No wonder Tesla has to do their own insurance, nobody else wants to touch those heaps with a 40 foot pole. And those are also the ones with the bike racks on 24/7 and the bikefag bumper stickers. So the few r/FuckCars people who reluctantly drive are most likely in one of those. They're also some of the worst maintained ones in my experience. They're 100% projecting their own insecurities on everyone else.

They’re not going to get normies to use bikes.

How autistic are they?

 

[Michael McDoesntexist]

How autistic are they?

I'm autistic myself and I did it. Got my license at 16 and have had it in good standing ever since.

And they don't understand that bikes are recreational for most people. I've ridden bikes plenty in my life, but for example the weather now. It's 20°F out and the ground is covered in snow. I am not biking into single digit wind chill. I'm getting in my car or truck and turning the heater on. You wanna be a masochist? Fine, but I like not freezing my nuts off.

 

[Jotch]

To this day I have yet to see a Chevy Suburban that wasn't piloted by a retard.
I think large vehicles attract dumb drivers.
Small vehicles attract self righteous drivers.
Sporty vehicles attract aggressive drivers.
It's a natural self sorting situation I think.

There are exceptions to it of course.
Most notably large highway tractor trailors, massive vehicles. Retard behind the wheel? almost never! (sans Indians)
Those CDL class A guys are awesome and deserve the title "Knights of the Road".

Pickup trucks are pretty mixed in personal experience. I often see very polite driving by those guys, usually coming to or from rural areas. In the city the pickup drivers often drive very dangerously and rudely.

The worst people to encounter on the highway are minivan drivers, especially elderly minivan drivers. Slow and have no idea where they're supposed to be, think winter tires are a scam and their indicators seem to be operated by an RNG algorithm.
Next is JDM guys, having the steering wheel on the wrong side must lower your IQ by 20 points. They are often found seething about pickup trucks online because their Miata with a bodykit and fart can got walked by someone in a ten-year old 2500 towing a trailer.
Dodge RAM drivers are almost universally assholes, but then again they have to drive fast and reckless to get home before their transmission fails (again)
SUVs, sedans, company trucks, commercial trucks and sports cars all blur into one big 'average driver' category.

 

[Meriasek]

But god forbid any "advocate" like NJB would ever bring shit like this up, because all their kvetching is just window-dressing to their "and this is why we need communism!"

They hate such constructions because it means infrastructure is designed around roads, and not the other way around. They only accept infrastructure that is worse for cars.

 

[Yamamura]

I know this is a late observation but with all the news about the LA fire going on recently, I just thought it hilarious thinking back to their rhetoric complaining about fire trucks being too big.

Yeah when your house/bughive is burning to the ground with your friends and family the first thing you wish is that firetrucks were smaller and driven by DEI hires. Maybe it's just pure serendipity that this event occurred but every time they do a "defund this institution" literally an event comes up where the necessity of said group is justified.

hah! I've driven a minivan, jap economy shitbox, and a RAM truck and I know what you mean. Though I've hardly had an issue with the RAM I had for a short while. Probably luck.

Scariest time was driving a tiny Nissan down the highway and being unable to keep up wth traffic without making the thing scream. Not a fun drive. Although it did have great mileage!

Either way, and I will say this over and over forever.
You must drive courteously to pedestrians, cyclists, and fellow drivers. Be a knight of the highway. Otherwise we get more people like these guys.

EDIT: I currently drive a minivan :p

Small cars should be the most fun to drive IMO. I proudly own a 3rd gen Honda Fit with a manual transmission. It's not fast (but still fast enough to break all speed limits if you want to), but it corners like a dream. A small car that's not fun to drive is simply a tragedy. This is why I don't like modern Toyotas, they managed to engineer the fun out of the Corolla (my mom used to have a 2015). Granted my love of small cars comes from my years of racing go-karts, so I love lightweight and nimble cars above all else. The Fit is a modern featherweight at just 2500 lbs (130 HP is plenty for the weight, especially with the gearing it has).

And yeah, save the stupid shit for when there's nobody around. In the area I live, drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists are all discourteous to each other and it causes so much hassle. Drivers don't give that much room, but cyclists and pedestrians also jump out randomly, giving drivers little time to react. Can't tell you how many times I've been honked at for stopping in anticipation of a pedestrian crossing the street.

As for the cars themselves, proper maintenance is key, irrespective of what you have. If you have a modern car, DO NOT trust the maintenance minder, change your oil BEFORE it says to. And there's no such thing as lifetime fluids. Change all of them at a proper interval (30-60k miles for tranny fluid and any differential and/or transfer case fluids) and your car will run better for longer. Even if you have a bike, you need to properly keep your chain lubricated to prevent binding or corrosion. You have to take care of your equipment if you want it to take care of you.
