Should loud cars be banned? - eviltoast

(does not reflect my opinion, just thought it looked funny)

Less hostile when in context.

    You guys lump motorcycles in on this, right? There’s some biker rally/meetup relatively close by this week/weekend, so I’m busy giving the finger to every asshole that passes with their stupid straight-pipe harleys and dumb shitty radios screaming skynard or AC/DC.

    I drive an EV, fwiw. There’s literally zero public transportation here, so I’m not on the fuckcars train, sorry.

      Fuckcars is not necessarily about not having a car. It’s about wanting the conditions in which you’re able to get rid of your car.

      You can have a car and still want to fuck cars… wait no… and still be fuckcars. I do, and I’m mad I need one at all without losing hours a day.

      My town has a “bike week” every few months it feels like, where all the people with their way too damn loud bikes get the privilege of blocking off half the city for a week to… I don’t even know?? Drink, I guess? Whatever the case, a major road becomes impassable and the entire city gets too loud to have a conversation on the sidewalk. It’s awful, god knows why the city thinks it’s a good idea. Ugh, now l’m annoyed again just thinking about it…

      I’d argue fossil motorcycles should be banned before fossil cars. If it’s about riding with nothing between you and the ground, an electric MC will do plenty. Otherwise, cars serve the same need.
