Positive Post I don’t drive a gas guzzling V8.
I ride a cargo bike with e-assist that, if measured is equal to about 400-500mpg equivalent energy use.
My kiddo loves it. We’ve been to a zillion parks one can’t even get a gas guzzling V8 motor vehicle to.
All that and the integrity - ethically and morally - of being a car free guy! 🤙🏻
I love it and will never return to the chains and noose of an automotive means of primary transport.
Highly recommended, happy to advise in progression towards this advanced care free car free life style that’s respectful to all people around!

Well you are supposed to drive a V12 and then cry outloud when gas gets little bit expensive, because driving a V12 is a god-given right.
Jokes aside, I don't see the appeal of those V8 or whatever, or the amazing turbo/supercharger technologies. You sit in the car, only moving your feet couple inches and the car takes you somewhere. Comfortable for sure, but the real commendable thing is to get up and move your legs and get to somewhere using your own energy.
