I don't want to fight the biking horde, I just want to be a gearhead.
I agree with a lot of what the Fuck Cars community has to say (the name sucks though). Cars are often not the best solution. Good public transit means only the people who want to drive are on the road, which means less morons. Oh no - they might shut down some city streets, the worst place to drive anyways.
Cars are loud, it's a fact. As a gearhead, I don't like generic road noise. Cool engines with tasteful exhausts? Yeah. A corolla driving past making nothing but tire noise? Nah. I'll take a quiet downtown please.
Being a public transit/bicycling enthusiast and a car enthusiast is very possible. Public transit and good bike infrastructure make driving better, and no one should be forced to drive if they don't want to, just like you aren't being forced to take public transit or bike.
Just wanna say thanks for posting something OC and interesting here. All of the other things I've seen have been shitty "memes" that should've stayed on Facebook.
I used the wrong lugs on the OEM winter wheels on my RSX. At first I didn't know any better (conical vs ball seat), but once the damage had been done I kept using them. The OEM wheels were already fairly rough when I bought the car. Oops, but at least I know better now, and at least I was doin' better than this guy.
