minus-squarehenfredemars@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down1·10 days agoI want to see more euro-style mini cars on the road. Better for the environment, safer for pedestrians and cyclists, and potentially better for your pocketbook too if they weren’t such costly imports/import parts.

This design is better for people inside AND outside the car. But bad for the environment, since you are hauling around an extra ton of padding all the time.
