    And yet people get so bent out of shape when I point out that most cars are nothing more than expensive toys for adults.

      Nothing inherently wrong with expensive toys for adults. Not my cup of tea, but still.

        Agreed, nothing inherently wrong with expensive toys for adults. For instance, I have a sailboat. I just don’t insist that everybody structure their lives and build their world around it.

        Not inherently, but the way people drive? Some people definitely treat driving like a literal toy or a video game, and have no respect for how easily you can kill someone. I can’t help but feel like this is a result of american car culture (speaking from an obv american perspective , since the world obv revolves around us /s)
