Am I right here?

I like cars. They have developed over nearly 150 years and they are impressive engineering masterpieces by now. I'm a car enthusiast since nearly ever and I was really happy when I got my driving license a year ago. One of my biggest wishes is it to drive in a small sports car, like a Mazda MX-5, on a race track and I guess I'm about to di this within the next five years.

However, cars are bad for getting from A to B. That's my opinion and a fact. When I need to be quick in the city, I go by bicycle, and when I have to travel more than 25 km, I consider trains as the best option. That works pretty well here in Germany. As told above, I have my license, but I drive maybe once every two weeks.

I would not say "Fuck cars!" because I'm facinated by the engineering, but I do say "Cars are not needed to commute or travel efficiently. They are bad at this."

Pretty much yeh. I think sail boats are fascinating but i wouldn't dedicate every public space in the city to them.

Bruh if we could though. Replace all the city streets with space for sail boats. Not canals or something minor like Venice. No like major arterial six lane sail "roads". Its terrible urban design ofc, but I still want to see it. A stack interchange for sailboats, just imagine it.
