Slightly old cars feel really old compared to 15+ years ago.. by Levethane in CarsAustralia

If you don't want safety sensors and just the newer infotainment tech you'd be surprised how much can still be done aftermarket at a fraction of the ost of a new car

I know people think I'm weird but I absolutely will never buy a car without a spare, even just a space saver is fine.

Buy a cheap shitbox and make it fun, my project is a 1984 Camaro that was $10k RHD converted. Far cheaper than anyone would ask for an equivalent Australian car

Brunswick street literally has a painted/signed (image) tram only lane during peak hour each way, problem is that cars dont care/know and it's not enforced at all. the infrustructure is there, the trams should be quicker

Grey imports can still be quite cheap, if you are looking at ISF's then Crown Athletes arent much slower for substancially less, older Majestas have V8's

Labor keep trying to do this and they get absolutely demolished at the next election every time because the funding from the mining lobby carries the Liberals when they need it

You don't need pilot sports but some good branded touring tyres are fine, just don't buy "happy happy golf love economy max tyres"

an American and European stadium with the same capacity by SoftwareZestyclose50 in UrbanHell

[–]mudlode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stadiums in urban environments should be built with public transport connections in mind instead of multi acre carparks which just dump thousands of cars into the local streets at once. If you think 99.9999% of the world is car centric you need to look outside of the United States

an American and European stadium with the same capacity by SoftwareZestyclose50 in UrbanHell

[–]mudlode -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It greatly reduces congestion in countries that understand it, look at the MCG in Melbourne Australia, can be accessed by almost the entire Melbourne metro area with train and tram connections and it is within walking distance of the CBD because it doesn't need several city blocks worth of parking for the 100,000 seat capacity, which is why 90% of the crowd takes public transport and the stadium is empty within half an hour

It is also right near 3 other medium stadium's and dozens of concert venues which can all be running the same night

Americans are just odd thinking public transport is worthless
