    Freedom™ is when you have to be over 16, own a several thousand dollar machine, maintain it, insure it, get a special license, not be disabled, be well rested, and be sober, all so you can do an insanely boring task that if you stop giving your complete and total concentration you and possibly others die.

    Real freedom is stumbling bleary eyed and drunk onto the subway at 3am and getting home safe for $2.

      Genuinely the real reason why i hate cars and driving. Having a car is like having a dog, you have to take care everywhere you go, make sure to find good, cheap parking, make sure you’re 100% sober, make sure to give it water and food (petrol).

      At least dogs love you back.
