    Urbanist car enthusiasts definitely exists: car can be a hobby, but hobbies belong on tracks or garages.

    I have met a vintage car enthusiast living happily in Amsterdam, he restores small early japanese cars and collect them, but that doesn’t mean he need to drive them every day to work. His car is in a garage near Amsterdam, and he still bike when he travel within Amsterdam.

    Like I enjoy starcraft, I m not asking my government to spend interstate money to keep starcraft alive or host tournaments; nor will I defend it if it interfere with other people’s need, right, and life.

    Starcraft also don’t kill 1.3 million people a year BTW, so if anything is getting foundings, starcraft should have more priority over cars…

      Agreed. Nobody cares that you like driving, it’s the fact that we’re forced into it via the forced elimination of other options.

      That’s the thing! There are beautiful cars out there! You love tuning? Nice! Racing is your thing? Happy for you!

      All of this has nothing to do with individual mobility.
