    I think a lot of car enthusiasts are coming around to this point of view. Cars are fun, but traffic isn’t. Give people alternatives and they’ll be off the road.

    Plus, car dependency makes cars suck. The reason they’re all egg shaped CUVs or boxy SUVs is because they’re essentially appliances. Everybody needs one so they make them for the lowest common denominator. Fun, affordable cars just don’t exist anymore. And even Ferrari is making an SUV.

    Finally, I think every car enthusiast will recognize that there are a lot of terrible drivers out there. Making licensing more stringent would weed a lot of these people out, but unless they have a viable alternative they’ll just drive without a license.
