I Don’t Know Who I Am Any Longer

Oppo, help. I don’t know what’s happening to me.

I’ve always identified as more of an anti-car person than a car person. I’ve been a bicyclist from a young age. For the past seven years, my bike has been my primary transportation. It’s fun, it’s healthy, it’s better for the environment. Cars are deadly, wasteful, have way too high of a priority in the average USAn city’s planning, and honestly are baseline frustrating to drive around in a city. It was a point of pride for several years that I didn’t drive at all. I never even owned a car until 18 months ago, in my 28th year.

And now, I post regularly on a car forum, I have pictures on my phone of just random cars on the street (ok, mostly Delicas), and I just paid a couple hundred bucks to rent the pictured Fiat Spider, purely for the experience of driving it around.
