GHiLA @sh.itjust.works Here's where I'm at.
I'm fine if it's a sport. There aren't millions of cars all over the earth doing burnouts, drifting, racing or doing downhill touge, or hitting the land speed record.

9 8 ReplyRunawayFixer @lemmy.world Relative to rich people sailing on superyaghts (just to give an example), these rubber lovers are very small fries. Both are wasteful past times, but when looked at per person, there are way more polluting hobbies than going to car events. Taylor Swift going to meet her boyfriend is another famous example.

DampCanary @lemmy.world the engine is a big-block Chevy V8 that’s been bored out to 496 cubic inches
496 cubic inches > Bugatti Chiron 8.0L
