[–] AviAdi@lemmy.world -4 points 15 hours ago (1 child) What is a "car appreciater" doing in fuck cars? Ah you're just here to cause trouble permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] noxypaws@pawb.social 2 points 10 hours ago Let me explain: I enjoy spirited driving, track days, go karting, and some other parts of cars and car culture. At the same time, I believe public transit needs to be dramatically, massively reprioritized over passenger cars. And I think trucks and SUVs should require a commercial driver's license to legally operate. And I put my money where my mouth is by gladly paying the ~$1000 per year RTA excise when renewing tabs for the expensive sporty electric wagon I own, which funds Sound Transit 3, in my opinion the nation's most ambitious and impactful transit expansion. I also often use the light rail to get to and from Seattle proper from the suburbs. And I very often have friends come visit whom I pick up and drop off at that same transit station. When I travel abroad I go out of my way to refuse taxis, much preferring to use transit or even walking when that's a reasonable alternative. And at home I, at nearly all costs, avoid ever using any "rideshare" platforms. permalink fedilink source parent
