    Cars aren’t about driving. You want to drive? Go to the track.
    Cars are about getting from point A to point B. Bring on full automation please!

      Cars are about running down pedestrians, taking up space, eating hot chip and lie

        What was the pedestrian points system again?

        • 10 points for every child
        • 20 for every adult
        • 30 for a pram
        • 50 for a pushbike

        Were there any others?

        Go hit and run and rack up those points now!

          We played by slightly different score system but the ranking seems the same, we also included Old People, and Wheel Chairs / Mobility Scooters, which with your scoring system would be 75 and 100 respectively. Push bikes and prams would be switched as bikes are more common and prams more devastating so they’re worth more points. We also had bonus points for pedestrians caught off a cross-walk.

      We had a tool for that it was called public transportation

      I actually quite enjoy driving, especially at night, really helps me relax and get rid of anxiety. I would love to do a track day, but shits expensive.

        On the one hand, I agree, but on the other hand, it’s one of the most dangerous times to drive

          I’ve been working nights for a good chunk of my life and I can’t understand why people say this. I prefer to drive at night, maybe if I didn’t live in a big city I might think differently. But, I’ve never had an accident, I rarely sit in traffic, cops generally have bigger shit to deal with at night so I don’t need to worry about speed traps or anything. I can’t think of any downside to night driving

          Idk, I mean it’s darker, but there are also a lot less cars on the road. I do what I can for accident prevention, I have a dash cam as well, but nothing is 100% risk free and I’m gonna attempt to enjoy what life I have left, and driving is something I wnjoy.

        See if there are any autocross groups in your area. Cheaper and safer than a track day with 95% of the thrill.

          There is an event in April in thinking about signing up for, it’s only about 200 bucks to enter and there are other events in the club later if I like it, also just in time for my birthday!

            Do it! If nothing else you should go to see how they are run. Bring a helmet if you have one, ride-alongs are super fun.

        99% of people want just that. a -> b with a level of safety, fuel efficiency, comfort and a cell phone to distract them. Nobody wants to be constantly pumping the clutch in slow traffic on a daily commute. I have an automatic, and it’s perfect for DD. We also have a small, 6-cyl with a standard, and that car is a ton of fun for evenings out and weekends. I wouldn’t want to make myself or the car suffer in a metro area traffic jam moving at a snail’s pace.
