Call me a worry wart, but after seeing the damage sustained to Fury 325 at Carowinds on TikTok just now, I’m convinced roller coasters ain’t it. Like damn, the track was sagging and the pillars were swaying.

    Ok so this whole thread has me tripping about…cars. Like, I know the statistics, but my son will be driving daily to school for the first time starting in August, has only been driving occasionally since last year and I am so not ready 🤪

    I love where I live (semi rural/woods) for the peace and quiet and low COL but between being 15 min from town and the terrain (Appalachia) it is impossible to not drive everywhere.

      I think much of the world, including the United States, is overly car-dependent and could really benefit from more openness towards sustainable forms of transportation, and urban development designed without automobiles at the forefront of the mind.
