With an average U.S. new-vehicle selling price of just over $45,000 last month, many can’t afford to buy new — even though prices are down more than $2,000 from the peak in December of 2022, according to J.D. Power.
It is almost as if it is a burden to live in a society that forces you to own a car, not an expression of freedom as car companies and proponents try to pretend.
Carless for 15years now. I rent or borrow one occasionally. I even have a class A license (means I can drive with 18wheels and speak seductively on the c.b.) I’m not anti-vehicle by any means, but I am anti these cities and ways of being we’ve built up around them. It’s difficult having conversations about cars with people.
If you’re an American like me you were probably brought up in a life dependent on personal automobiles. It would be indoctrination if it was malintended. I have difficulty expressing how bad our country looks, looking in from a carless vantage.
It’s not a good look tho. Lazy, selfish, really unhealthy. Like I worry about some of you. And just fucking rude to nature. The sheer square footage we have paved over and devoted to these machines is just fucking tragic.
I love walking. Love the bus even when it smells like ass. I hate to be romantic and douchy about it, but you’ll find me out with the unwashed masses, clinging to the last scrap of dignity.
