The experience they sell to you vs the experience you get
When somebody pointed out that the glasses blurred spiderman's vision, this meme format was ruined.
71The thing is that you're meant to reverse the images. The problem is the number of people who haven't watched Raimi's Spiderman co-opting the meme.
16Yea every meme is destroyed because of this....
4First thing I thought, I was honestly confused for a second there.

This, in my opinion, is the number one source of road rage: drivers unrealistically expect to zoom around fast, yet it never happens. So they rage.
57It always makes me smirk when they show a car zooming down a completely empty city street.
The only way that’s going to happen is if you blow through a barricade. I almost expect them to plow into a bunch of marathon runners or something.
26It's sad that you people don't understand that places like that do exist, all across the vast landscape of America.
It is reality, and it exists outside of major cities. I literally never have to endure a traffic jam when I commute.
The actual reality is that the freedom to roam is what a car grants you. It does not grant you freedom to roam inside crowded cities. You can't "roam" there because it's too fucking crowded but as soon as you get outside the city the freedom begins.

Bicycles deliver the freedom auto ads promise
21Nothing annoys me more than car ads where the car is in the wilderness like that. I can think of the range Rover one that's running now where they pick up hikers and drive them to the summit of the mountain. Like it ignores the entire point of being in the nature.
19You put the Spider-Man images reversed.
10I mean, an ebike + light rail is enough to explore a city and it's surroundings, but I can think of a few places I've visited in my life that would be basically inaccessible without a car.
...or a very, very long roundtrip on train, I suppose. For like two of them.
Still, shouldn't need a car in an urban area.

4Renting is exactly what we did :D Can't very well bring a whole ass car with you on a plane. Nor should you want to.

There definitely have been, and continue to be, some great experiences in my life that would have been impossible without a car.
But they happen so infrequently that owning a car myself is completely nonsensical from a cost perspective.
Much better to spend a couple hundred bucks a year renting/borrowing a car the 2-3 times I need one, than $10k a year on payments/gas/insurance/parking just so it can take up valuable urban land to sit unused 99% of its life.
3Yeah. The only mode of transportation that I own is an ebike. And I could probably cut the "e" part out without too much fuss.
Good panier bags make all the difference though.

7I've never been on a cruise but I feel like that would be the case. Nice pics but I've seen people's real pictures and it looks like a public pool on the worst day paired with walking around a shopping mall that is 97% gift shops

-4Have other viable modes of transport available so people have a choice, and given that other modes are much more space efficient than cars you can have less congestion with less road.

Lolololol imagine thinking both aren't possible. Christ it hurts.
-6And yet where do you think car owners spend more of their time?
