Driving and car ownership in general is one of those issues that make me feel like the American Right is motivated more by petty contrarianism (What, you want us to bike? Like Europeans?) and outright selfishness (I don't want no government man telling me I can't own a fast car!) more than any sort of interest in actual problem solving.
Like King once said in a thread awhile back, it's as if being on the Right has to be some sort of through-and-through lifestyle.
That, I think, is the whole
Raison d'etre of the American Right. At least, everything makes more sense when you look at it that way.
