As a bike rider, I forget this is a thing. Asked my neighbor, he pays $350/month in insurance alone 🙃

      As a bike rider, doesn’t that skew even more the relative advantage you get by not giving a fuck? If nobody wants a “weak” car, they should be even cheaper than in a sane market that values cars by their ability to go fast and accurately from A to B, no?

        No, because they pay out the nose for huge SUVs these days which increases the chance they’ll kill us cyclists.

          No I meant coming from ignorance, since I am a biker, but on the matter of buying “ugly” cars.

        Eh, it also means relatively fewer weak cars are being built. So it helps, but not as much as you’d think.

      I think more-so, some people think everyone else gives a shit about what they drive.

      Works both ways too, Sam Bankman Fried apparently fooled a lot of people by cosplaying as a Toyota Corolla driver
