This isn't actually about cars

[torquill]

I had a heated discussion with someone on lily today, and I thought it might be interesting to see what other people think about our point of contention. I'm not asking for treatises on the benefits/drawbacks of motor vehicles; take this as the metaphor it is.

(Note: in the first option of the first question, that is a reflection, negative or positive, on you.)

I'll explain this in a future post.

The reason I say it's complicated is because while I don't own my own car at this point, I have owned a car in the recent past, and I also share cars with pure_agnostic and starry_sigh as well as share Zipcars with mikz. In other words, I advocate using cars and haven't abandoned them entirely because of their environmental impact (the opinion inferred from above) but I do think reducing use, using hybrids, and carpooling are a good compromise until better ideas come along.
