the ones used to haul people - I have no issue with. of course they must be replaced but in the great grand scale of things, they're at least hauling people to schools and jobs.

the assholes who look at internal combustion as their personality - the f1s, the nascar types, the tuner heads and vroom vroom fuckwits - they're doing it for FUN.

FUCK THOSE PEOPLE THE MOST. FUCK THEM EIGHT WAYS FROM SUNDAY. THEY'RE DERIVING THEIR ENTERTAINMENT FROM MAKING IT HARDER FOR CHILDREN TO BREATH. THEY DON'T EVEN FUCKING CARE ABOUT THEIR OWN CHILDREN, BECAUSE THAT'S WHO'S GOING TO PAY THE PRICE FOR THEIR ABSURD BULLSHIT.

Of course replace ICE wherever possible, do the work, but I ain't angry at some lady hauling her kids around in an ICE kia.

The fuckwit who's modified their carb so they spew more freedom smog - and the ones who want to watch them race in circles at full tilt - they're holding the species back. Please, remind them of this whenever you see them. They're fucking us all over.

I think there's a MASSIVE difference between Formula/GT/Rally guys and guys who roll coal. True racing cars count for less than 1% of global emissions. The real problem is all the flights and transport necessary to get to the venues. The vehicles themselves are a blip on the radar.

Guys who roll coal are deliberately harming the environment for the sake of making a really stupid point.

I don't disagree but it doesn't let f1/nascar/etc off the hook. their 'hobby' is racing in circles burning gas.

Let me type that again, because the absurdity is powerful:

THEIR HOBBY IS RACING IN CIRCLES BURNING GAS.

work it out mate.
