Which banned member is this regurgitating the same tired "reasons"?
OP, Life can be dangerous. That's the beauty of it. Driving isn't necessarily that dangerous.
Want to go up in an ultra-light with me?
I've never been on here. He or she that said stuff similar to me probably thought you people were mean, I think a lot of people on here are mean. I can't say much more or it'll just get deleted. Some of you seem to really like bullying others on the Internet.
oh please, i am no ricer, never have been never will be. i tend to prefer cars with real horsepower. but one of the most fun little cars i ever drove was a honda 600 coupe like this one;
you could blast around the city at full throttle, and never break the speed limit, and still get over 30mpg. it was a neat little car to drive. and my friend that owned it drove a firebird regularly, and i drove a mustang.
Not accusing you of being a ricer, just that ricers are the best at being deluded when it comes to their cars.
That little Honda is unusual and funky though, definitely an "enthusiast automobile" if I've ever seen one.
But switch the car to a Toyota Corolla or Honda Accord or any one of millions on the road just like them,on the grind to work on a Monday morning.
Still having fun?
Most car owners seem to think of their cars as appliances these days and are as excited to get behind the wheel as they are when we load up our washing machines. It's a damn shame... life is too short to own a boring car.
Self-driving cars are the epitome of the boring car plague that is sweeping the nation. Most people already can't drive stick... what will it be like when most people can't even steer?

Why do you need to know how to drive stick shift when most cars are automatic? Why learn something harder when there's an easier way? Especially if the easier way is mainstream.

You don't drive, and likely never will, so why do you want to know?

Because mainstream is boring and the easy way is the least fulfilling.
I want to be included in a generation because being an outcast sucks.
You do! You clearly belong to the generation that is becoming infamous thanks to the "self esteem" movement and helicopter parenting. Boys wearing tight girl-pants during puberty might have something to do with it too.
Son, back in my day we scored with chicks in-person instead of just trading pictures of our junk... usually in the back seat of the fine not-so-gently used automobiles we bought ourselves with money we made flipping burgers after school and wrestled into running condition with our greasy... no, bloody hands in High School auto shop.
Our pants were baggy, our wallets had chains on them and our grimy T-Shirts said "Alice in Chains" on them too, even if that wasn't what was playing in our tape decks (if they even worked). When our 18th B-day came around, our parent gave us a suitcase and a $20 bill (which was worth like 40 bucks in today's money!), along with a 10 minute head-start before dialing the cops to come haul our asses away. Luckily gas was cheap so we stood a fair chance at making it.
And it ruled.
But alas, those days are gone. You'll get your self-driving car, your easy-everything with soft-padded everything and a benevolent master who will do your thinking for you so you don't have to. Unfortunately too few of us survived our "stupid stage" to change that.
