I make my coffee at home. It's cheaper.
Right, like who has the time or money to wait to buy coffee?
And it's not really a comparison. One image depicts a leisure activity, while the other a convenience activity. The choice between the two has very little to do with cars, or rather the existence of each depends on the situation determined by other factors. If you are in a walkable city where cars are not necessary, then you could stop at a restaurant. If you have an hour commute and want to enjoy a to-go cup of coffee along the way, the drive through is an obvious business decision.
So I'm not sure waht the takeaway is here, other than whoever created this comparison has a myopic, self-centered view of the world.
So much time saved too. Takes less time to make it than it ever does to wait in line.
