Urbanist and car enthusiasts are not mutually exclusive: car can be a hobby, but hobbies belong on tracks or in garages.
I have met a vintage car enthusiast living happily in Amsterdam, he restores small early japanese cars and collect them, but that doesn't mean he need to drive them every day to work. His car is in a garage near Amsterdam, and he still bikes when he travel within the city.
Like I enjoy starcraft, but I'm not asking my government to spend interstate money to keep starcraft alive or host tournaments; nor will I defend it if it interfere with other people's need, right, and life.
Starcraft also don't kill 1.3 million people a year BTW, so if anything is getting foundings, starcraft should have more priority over cars...
Agreed. Nobody cares that you like driving, it's the fact that we're forced into it via the forced elimination of other options.
I FUCKIN LOVE CARS*
*VR simracing only I don't even have a driver's license
I don't drive, but i have a licence. It's nearly the only thing people accept for ID these days.
By design. The 'landed gentry ' has been replaced by 'those that can prove they got enough money to have their vote count'
I have a state issued non driver Real ID. I guess if you're outside the US there may be different ID laws, but the Real ID works for everything, including flying.
In the US, you can get a non license ID with the same requirements (sans driving related crap) and is good for everything as normal.
Of course, they don't talk about it much because they need everyone to be forced into car culture at all costs.
Wow. I'm sure the rest of the enthusiasts are just around the corner!
The dude is complaining about owning 12 pos used cars as if that's not 100% self inflicted from his channel 🤣.
Oh and this guy is still buying cars a year later. Yeah definitely a legit enthusiast and not just trying to make money.
Downvoting because I don't want this is clearly a ad for your YouTube channel.
Id downvote twice if I could because the obnoxious YouTube image.
I'm not the creator of the video (I used the video's title when posting it here), I just thought it was interesting that even a dude who loves cars can't look past the downsides of them, It's almost, but not quite like seeing a car magazine shit on cars.
It was a good watch and nice to see a YouTuber speak their mind about downsides of car culture, even if there's a huge risk of annoying their audience.
Yep. Obvious scumbag.

Welcome to Lemmy.
Lemmy doesn't have ads like reddit, so there's no rules against self promotion, which only existed to drive folks to pay reddit money.
Self-promotion is welcome on Lemmy.
It's like they got a fuckin toddler to cut out pictures of cars 😂
Did your mum stick this on the fridge when you got home, OP?
What a cringe video.
You'd get your point across a lot better if you tried some actual journalism, not some shitty YouTube vid with a ghastly thumbnail. You can't expect anyone to take that seriously, surely?
It's his personal account on why he's second guessing his car enthusiasm. How are journalistic standards expected there?
"Actual journalism" what does that even mean? Youtube IS a medium of communication that legitimate news outlets and journalist depend on to talk about various aspects of life.
This reminds me of a teacher that tried telling me Wikipedia wasnt a source. So I just used what Wikipedia used as my sources.
