It's great when we see more women posting. It means the whole carfree experience is moving from a male-dominated, geek-like thing to something more widely based.

From what I see, there's a lot of male insecurity around the vehicle you select to move around. I personally feel less of this because I'm too old to care , but I can see how it affects young men.

I absolutely love it though when young males are able to have that "WTF" moment and realize that their prospective mates probably don't (and certainly shouldn't) judge character on the basis of the machine they use for transportation.
I wouldn't be interested in having a relationship of any kind with a person who would look down on me for not owning a car. How superficial!
