- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment.

It's a struggle for me. I absolutely love driving; tearing up country roads in a shitbucket firebird was literally my only solace as a military brat growing up mostly in the southern US. That has never left me, and the ability as an adult to do things like drop $1500 on Michelin Supersports and drive a vehicle that needs the 93 octane fuel has only made it worse.
That being said, as I've gotten older I've been coming around to "we need to end capitalism before it ends us" and car culture is a huge part of that. That leaves me as a huge enjoyer of fuckcars type posts and ideas as well as the owner of a little Japanese sports car that is a big part of my identity and basically my only safe space. I'm very conflicted about it
