>>1506847>>1506904>>1506908>>1506753OP here, also former /o/tist. Love your posts. Drove trucks, instructed motorcycles, fixed friends cars and bikes for years. I just can't stand it any longer. I could live in a studio apartment with maybe a 125 cc moped to get around (I do live in a western hellscape) but instead I live in an entire house, with a personal shed full of ten trillion tools, chemicals, spare parts for the cars and bikes I'm perenially elbow deep in. I lug that shed's worth of bullshit around with me like a snail with a shell on its back.
You know the really sick part about car culture is that every time I'm dealing with some problem on some car, or getting cucked by some anti-shadetree manufacturer design, or whatever... every time that happens, I actually crave for an immaculate new car that wouldn't have these problems. Just a white, base model mirage that hasn't been fucked with or abused. But the terrible, insidious, warped way of our world is that BUYING A NEW CAR IS SUPPORTING, PROMOTING, STRENGTHENING CAR CULTURE. I've been so conditioned that my irrational impulsive desire is actually for the one thing that guarantees the creation of more problems later on.
