Why do some Western Europeans hate cars? Do the cars scare them or is it that they hate self reliance?
>>
dunno it's weird, owning a car is like committing social suicide here. my dad had one and this one time we were driving through town i could hear all the pedestrians looking at us and tutting
>>
What would you do with it anyway? It's more of a showoff thing.

Is it envy disguised as disgust?
>>
Here in Finland it's pretty much mandatory to own a car unless you live in Helsinki

Yep, know that which is why I mention Western Europe specifically. You know, where the stuck up fags live.

Maybe comparing fuel prices in USA, EU and eastern europe will give you an idea?..

+ W. Europe has much better situation with public transportation, afaik.
>>
Why would people bother wit cars when they live in tiny cities of tiny countries where they can just hop on a public transit and travel everywhere without the hassle of trying to park your car somewhere or maintain it over time and buy fuel and stuff.
>>
>>60209170
Because they're expensive, take up space and are only marginally more conveniant than walking/cycling/public transport. Simply put, they're not worth it.

Same thing with guns. The European "man" is basically not allowed to own one, so instead of trying to change the situation, his jealously fuels his rage towards free men of the world. That's why you see so many threads devoted to "why do Americans do X", "omg Americans are do stupid..." etc. Not because it will influence them or change their way of life, but because deep down inside they know they are nothing but pathetic cucks.
>>
Isn't gas crazy expensive over there ?
>>
In the densely populated areas they have bothered to put up proper public transportation. Cars are also more expensive due to more taxation. Taking public transportation makes a lot of sense from a financial standpoint, it's ridiculous how much money you save.
>>
>>60211643
The wages are also higher. That map just lists the cost in us dollaridoos. It doesn't adjust for the fact that a Norwegian guy probably earns 10x as much as a Mexican for example.
>>
>>60211643
I pay $1 for 1l of gasoline ($0.8 for diesel).

what are prices like in South America or USA?
>>
>>60211643
>no data again

fucking just get over here and ask your stupid questions, you already went to bolivia for fuck's sake
>>
>>60212000
Nice digits, we don't have taxes as big as yours.
We also have no tax on gas.
Norway has oil and it's just as expensive as the other yuros. It's your government increasing the prices.

>>60212069
USA is third (?) cheapest in the continent, after Brazil and Venezuela who basically gifts it.
In Mexico it's about the same, 80-90 dollar cents for a 1l.

>>60212240
Data is there, same price as Huehue, apparently
>>
I'd wish there weren't cars over here, they only produce contamination and traffic jam

They actually don't. Cars are just far more expensive to run due to their heightened fuel taxes, insurance costs, and annual road tax. Additionally, in some countries like the Netherlands, sales tax on a new car can double the cost of a vehicle and there are also taxes on engine size in much of Europe. Due to this, the majority of Europeans only own small sedans or hatchbacks with sub 2 liter diesel engines or just use public transit. They might say they hate cars but that's really just jealousy because they're largely stuck in a shitty situation regarding car ownership. Regardless pretty much every European with a means to still owns a nice big car. Germany is a glaring example of this. E-Classes and A6s are fucking everywhere.

They don't? Only cityfags and Beligans don't like cars.
