> A car grants a whole lot of freedom that many progressive people are really excited to give away. A car grants dependence on a long supply chain (oil drilling, shipping, processing, storage) of fuel that the government can easily sever. Not only are you dependent on the supply chain but you are dependent on the government and foreign governments to maintain it. If you really want to be a freedom loving, rugged individualist then you'd get an off road capable bike or a horse.
