Your perception is sound. Many folks on this forum are anti-car. Others are anti-only certain types of cars. Others look at it like I do and are not anti-car, just pro-bike.
I see the value of a car as being directly related to it's potential utilitarian value. If I have a job that I can't do on a bike, will the car be able to step up to the plate? Is it a car I can carry my fishing rods in without having to stick them out the window? Can it tow a trailer? Can I throw a load of firewood in the back without having to worry about depreciation? What about a dead deer? Can I fit a bike inside without having to take it apart?
