I love driving my 34 year old car. It only goes 140km/h max and that is fine for it. I consider it a fun car as well even though it has the reputation of being a shopping trolley for old people. I can't see where you would would draw the line of fun car and what that would do for road safety. Most crashes tend to happen at intersections because of inattentive drivers or confusing situations. This behavior is promoted by a sense of perceived safety which people get from a "self driving" car. If I could snap my fingers and apply a ban on a car type it would be suv's without a doubt. Big cars in general also give that sense of safety which is somewhat true for the people in it but they kill more people involved in crashes with them. Now for your last point about Top Gear. Quite a strong opinion which I do not agree with. They tend to close roads to do their scenes. If you ever go to one of those beautiful roads you will find out that they are very popular and the speed limit cannot even be met. In conclusion, make cars small again.

How about a good old cup of "FUCK PUTIN"

Very nice my man. The roads leading there are great, also driving the narrow streets of those cities must have been great.

Yeah, my mom "Apollo 13" moped around for weeks after her oxygen tank explosion.

Which is a huge coincidence for "human" Helen started crying. She must have felt a real connection to sandwich "real" helen.

I love getting around without a car. Public transport is great around europe. Still the 10.000 km trip I went on last year hit so many places public tranport don't. Also getting to great places like forests or parks will require a form of automotion in the usa. About the risk, I feel that it is part of the journey to risk it all. The car I drive is light because it has no safety features like modern cars. This is not inherently a bad thing for safety breeds complacency. I have been close to catastrophe multiple times during the road trip, still I wouldn't have had the experiences I did if it was just staying home.

Very nice and very true. Where did you go on this trip?

So far this has been my only car I owned. Have driven plenty of rentals and still none hold a light to my 34 year old Opel Corsa. This is a picture i took in the hills of Georgia near the Turkish border.

Paying rich fucks a lot for their podcasts.

The hunt for endless fucking growth. Paying some big names for their podcasts over just being a good music service and paying artists fairly. I really hate this fucking timeline.
