(More or less) car-free lifestyles--chat about (more or less) car-free lifestyles

there are probably loads of people too scared to post what they really think about cars over there for fear of being labelled a "hater" when in reality theres quite a lot of sense in being a hater of "car culture" if not the actual cars themselves..

Spot on - my problem is with people using cars to make unnecessary journeys, or where alternative methods are available (but also realistic in terms of time taken and cost of travel). I do like cars though, and honestly can't see the problem with appreciation of engineering, form/aesthetic and performance.
