As a car enthusiast, I want everyone including myself to only have to take mass transit to get where we want to go. I want roads to be narrow, twisty and out of the way. Driving should be for fun, not a necessity.
Your hostile attitude turns off potential allies in the car enthusiast community.
Also a car enthusiast, I fully agree. I'd love to take public transit to work and only use my car when I wanted to.
Coulnd't agree more. If I am travelling for work I'd much prefer to take a train (so I can do some actual work while commuting) over my car. Sadly, public transportation outside major cities in Canada is a joke. And one that's been getting less and less funny every year as the governments pumps money into infrastructure projects (roads) while neglecting public transport (wage stagnation, routes being cancelled, etc.)
