   Americans sure suck at driving and taking care of their cars considering how much they depend on them. :blobfoxgoogly:

     @tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com folks can't afford to take care of them. also they may not be capable of doing the labor, have the tools, have the time to learn how to do it, and so on. i consider myself fucking privileged to have that. most folks have to pay 3x the cost of the consumables to have someone do it for them.
     
     my time aint that valuable, yet. cars are a goddamn hole in the road in to which america pours money.

     @purple That still doesn't account for how shitty American drivers are. :blobfoxgooglymlem:

     @tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com Hale no it doesn't
     
     for that, i blame our dogshit licensing standards, laws that cause distraction by requiring too many (redundant/useless) road signs but don't limit advertising or commercial signage, and our propensity to double-down on fucking awful infrastructure instead of implementing known fixes (ye olde american exceptionalism)
     
     i also blame judges that let repeat offenders continue to have driving privileges.
     
     as an aside to american road design itself: a fuckton of our roads, especially in the midwest & frontier states, don't exactly "go anywhere". we can blame how lot parceling was experimented with back then on this.
