    Public transportation is non existent in a lot of the US and the cost of taking a cab is higher than a car payment. We have sprawling cities where if you don’t want to work a commute that would be 3+ hours each way you are precluded from most jobs and you better have 3-6 months of money saved to job search in your area at that point.

    Millions of people are stuck in places where if you don’t have a car you’re going not going to finding much work or working a living wage.

      Yes, I am aware and am in full agreement. I was referring to the more circlejerky aspect of this community sometimes where they ignore/cannot comprehend that so they act like anyone who has a car for any reason is evil and the problem and bad.

      And I’m only exaggerating a tiny bit.

        Are you under the impression that “carbrain” means “anyone who owns a car”?
