    Haha, 2012 mazda and 2013 Honda here for the foreseeable future.

    I think I can see myself getting a fun fast electric car in several years, but I also really really like the idea of retiring a bit earlier, so we’ll see.

      Get a fun fast electric bike and retire even earlier.

      (sorry I know this is unrealistic for most north americans I just fucking hate car culture and can’t help myself. Have a nice day)

        Yep, I like reading the “fuckcars” communities, but where I live was built to accommodate car culture only. And given the reddish tint (as in US Republican) of the area, I don’t expect it to change, especially to anything “European” looking. We do have traffic circles though!

        The only big change I expect to see will be when robotaxies are ubiquitous. But even then it’s not like it will make the area more walkable. You just wouldn’t need to own a car to live in the suburbs and even some nearby rural areas. But I assume I’ll be using the car/bus-centric infrastructure my whole life.

          Bless you. The more people who know and care about this stuff the better. I’m hopeful the tide will eventually turn and it will be political suicide to oppose urbanist design.
