I sent it to a friend... he owns an SUV.

He wasn't overly happy.

I then explained that thoughtless use of a vehicle is the point, not
ALL autos [or SUV's], and their drivers.

He felt better, and agreed it was interesting and compelling.

I shouldn't have sent it to him.

I guess.

It's funny how people think those who cycle for transport are either
superhuman or crazy, as if you can't actually get somewhere that you
need to go on a bicycle.

Car-free isn't for me, but I really enjoy car-lite.

if you haven't seen it, the story of stuff is a neat little animated
video that digs a little deeper into Mr. Wright's thoughts on
groupthink, not understanding the implications of our actions,
consumerism, etc.

Thanks for posting that. I enjoyed it. I've never owned a car either.
I mentioned to a friend of my wife's parents that I never owned a car,
never had a license and he responded by saying Are you even
American? I took that as a compliment.
