Rules
-
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
-
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
-
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
-
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
-
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
-
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
-
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

I was thinking buying a fiat panda, how is it ?
LOVE IT! it's dirt cheap in every single way you can imagine. Repairs, fuel, tax, insurance etc. you won't find anything to compeat for the quality and reliability it offers. Stay away from the newer panda 3 models (summer 2012 and newer) the engine is only a two cylinder and has a lot of issues because it is a completely new engine design. Get the older models preferably the newest you can get (up to summer 2012) the newest of them have aircondition and a slightly more efficient engine. The engine in the panda 2 is the tried and tested 69Hp Fire Engine used by many many small cars and is so reliable they can run for many hundreds of thousands of km. As an example mine is from the last batch from 2012 has run 165k km and doesn't use a single drop of oil. I change oil and it runs for over a year and the level is exactly the same when i change it again. what i love about it the most is that it is so cheap i don't really care about it much so if it gets a tittle scratch or gets filled with dog-hair i really don't care much. Just buff it out and clean it a bit and it's good as "new" is it the most comfortable car? well no, but it's not that bad. Tried much worse in other cars similar priced. Is it the pretties car? No, but it has lots of space for it's size. Does it have lots of smart features? no but i don't want that anyway. Just give me air condition and i'm happy. Damn i love it.
Haha nice feedback, I have the same expectations (cheap, efficient, pactical, reliable). I'll check this out, thx !
