I use this all the time, it’s great.

Cars still suck even without the dependence. I live somewhere that very much isn’t car dependant but there’s still too many of them and they still make places miserable.

Your hobby is fine as long as you don’t impose the externalities on other people. I don’t want to hear your loud engine, I don’t want to breathe your fumes, and I don’t want to worry about getting hit while just walking around.
