Washington Post says America’s love affair with cars is over.

They can pull my COLD DEAD HANDS off of my Dodge Challenger, hollowed out muffler for speed, steering wheel. :)

I hear that!!! I was having a friendly discussion with some co-workers one time, not at all intending to cross the limits of political or ideological barriers, when the subject of public transit came up. I stated that I actually preferred the freedom of having my car right outside, and that I would choose not to use public transit, even if it was convenient for my commute. My co-workers (two of them) both responded that if public transit was fixed, that I would use it. I said "No, I wouldn't", and they said "yes, you would". This went back and forth a couple of times and then I could see that all of us were starting to get a bit stirred up. I was actually surprised at how insistent these other people were that I would choose their method of transportation (with my shared expense, of course), rather than simply allowing each to choose their own method. I tell you, I'm with you on that statement regarding your Dodge Challenger. One of the primary means of exercising my liberty is the ability to get in my car and go anywhere I want, whenever I want, without having to check in with anyone.
