One major point was to be anti-car: > In contrast, Schalkx’s Volvo internalizes all the side effects of driving automobiles. The car is not a pleasure to drive, at least not regularly. It is dirty. Its interior stinks of plastic, which cannot be healthy – Gijs keeps the car windows open no matter the weather. Furthermore, he needs to spend a lot of time collecting plastic and making fuel, and all these disadvantages make him think twice before he gets behind the wheel. Although I will agree this is ridiculous, as most anti-car ideas tend to be. If he’s privileged enough to consider whether he should use his car, then perhaps he should consciously live without one.
