EPISODE 97: Deconstructing Muscle Car City
Added 2023-01-03 15:04:51 +0000 UTCHello War on Cars supporters:
Part 3 of our "Muscle Car City" series dropped this morning.
In Part 1, Welcome to Muscle Car City, we met Denys da Menace, a young New York City guy who does “donuts” and “burnouts” in a souped-up Dodge Charger as part of the Brooklyn Hemi Boyz car club. In Part 2, We Are in the Movie, Aaron rode along in what was supposed to be the biggest, loudest, craziest car meet of the summer. Now Sarah, Doug, and Aaron are going to break it down and talk about it. Why did muscle-car culture become so big during the first two years of the pandemic? How do car club members afford to keep their expensive hobby going? And why are we allowing automakers to put these products on public streets while encouraging young men to use them as dangerously as possible? In Part 3, we are "Deconstructing Muscle Car City."

I do not live in the US, but have the impression that there is enough space there to build a track or a pointless parking lot near a city like NY, my thinking is you may love cars, and you maybe like racing and trying dumb things, but that could be done outside the city, so you maybe harm yourself but don’t harm others. Listening to this episode I was thinking of speed governors of 50 kmh for cities, 120 kmh for highways, and unlimited for certain zones, that could be tracks or an empty field; so the people who likes their cars can enjoy them, but far from the rest. Having said that, it always impresses me the tie US people have to their cars, its a given in life like some year ago marriage was a given for a person.
