I mean I'm usually the odd one out here because I'm into mechanical things, rural areas, and Motorsport.

I fully agree, assholes driving like this on public roads deserve prison. Even more so if in a vehicle weighing over 3000 lbs. I HATE SUVS AND TRUCKS SO DAMN MUCH. whew.

Keep racing on the track. Issue is, cops hate tracks, cities hate them, Karen's hates them, so there is no where for us to actually do our hobby. Sure you may say its a stupid hobby but anyone could say that about anything.

Street crime goes down when tracks are built, its a fact.

IMO, tracks are community centers and have nothing to do with what c/fuckcars is all about.

Who the hell can afford to go to a track?

Haha I hear ya but autox and drag racing are not very expensive. Tires is about the only cost along with a helmet. And yeah tires cost a shit ton.

I like to drive simulations. Hell, sometimes I even shoot people in simulation. But in the real world, I don't burn petroleum into the open atmosphere just for shits and giggles. One reason is that it fucking kills people.

Life isn't a simulation. The device you wrote that comment on killed people for slave labor, or did you mine your own metals to make the hardware?

Unless youre gonna go live in a cave and eat dirt, literally every aspect of your life is killing and enslaving the less fortunate.
