This is not out in some rural town. This is in Portland, OR about 2 miles from downtown. Personal vehicles this large are simply incompatible with urban living and pressure their owners to continually break traffic law. Technically that Miata is parked as close to the stop sign as it can legally be, but as the Denali doesn't fit in many places around here it's owner is compelled to park across both the stop sign and the crosswalk.
I'm not 100% on board with the whole "fuck cars" thing but fuck that truck's owner sideways.
Have you ever been in places that weren't designed around cars? Here in Japan its night and day between places where half the land is parking lots and roads, theres like 2 businesses within a 15 minute walk, and every hotel runs its own shuttle, and places where anyone can get basically anywhere in 15-20 minutes.
That sounds great but I don't live there and unless my city magically grows that kind of infrastructure, I can't stop having a car.
My point is having seen both developments is certain to make someone anti-car, because it shows how much of a blight car-centric development is. I wasnt suggesting you, personally, should sell your car and stop having a job or being able to move around would somehow be productive.
Same. I'm not fuck cars, but I am fuck lifted oversized for no reason trucks. Double fuck em if they're plastered with a bunch of lights.
I fuck cars. What now?
Always make sure you get consent and wear protection.
don't go overboard with the foreplay. Its tailpipe will get too hot
