A lot of anime takes place in big cities and a lot of people who live in big cities use public transportation.

Country bumpkin detected

I realized that anime characters shouldn't be trusted with getting cars after I saw what Araragi chose to drive. Faggot could have at least gotten a miata.

They have certain very restrictive laws about owning a vehicle in Japan.

No need. Most civilized countries have developed public transport systems, America-kun.

>public transport

Kill yourself.

This.

I've been driving for 7 years since I was 14. I've gone a month without a car and it's driving me crazy. Public transport is so inconvenient, boring a nd expensive. I've started walking everywhere instead even if it means having to walk 10-15km a day.

How did Miyamori learn to drive like THAT?

>you will never go on yukari-sensei's wild ride

In countries where the population is composed entirely by humans, public transport is a thing.

Id like to ride shotgun and see him drift. Same with Takumi.

Good, I don't think I'd survive it.

Driving is too scary.

Here in Concepción ( a city of Chile ), public transport isn't boring at all. You have to be attentive or you hit yourself on braking with the seat that's in front of you. Almost every bus is riced as fuck, it's pretty much like the racing scenes from Shirobako, just replace Aoi and the other guy with 2 40-year old fat guys. I even saw a 16-year old kid driving.

Are you saying burgerfats are robots?

...

Because Japan has a awesome public transport system in their large towns and citys making having a car unnecessary.

Most of Japan lives in three or four large cities. They tend to get where they need to go through trains and many simply don't have the need for their own vehicle because Japan's public transportation system is designed to serve the general public and not the lowest common denominator like it is in the US.

Ever watch Initial D? Everyone in that series pretty much owned a car.

What's a country bumpkin?

Because roughly 99% of the time the character in question isn't old enough.
Alternatively, everything they ever need is within a ten minutes walk.
Alternatively, MAGIC.
Alternatively, post-apocalypse.

Is a miata a good car?

>public transport

Stay cucked, faggot

But you have seat belts and a metal cage for protection.

Because like 90% of them are too young

I'M BURNIN UP FOR YOU

I'M BURININ UP FOR YOU

*eurobeat intensifies*

Wahaha~

No

What's a good car?

A hachi roku.

EG Civic with a few simple mods

Yes

>gay hairdresser car with no power

True but it's still good, because there so much fucking fun to throw around corners

>5 minutes into touge and chill and he gives you this look

>EG Civic
Faggot.

Toyota MR2

>being too poor to have airconditioning, ice cubes, or cars.

How do europoors abstain from suicide?

>needing a car in any major japanese cities
they're helpful for specific things but public transportation in japan is pretty good

you don't need a car in japan

Civic HAHAHA. Short Hispanics drive these.

Unless you're a woman.

Just like everything in Japan, owning a car is extremely expensive. Gasoline is expensive, toll roads are expensive. I think they can be up to 20 dollars per use.

Also, with the massively ubiquitous public transportation, it's also unnecessary.

we have niggers, which is why we don't have public transport

>he doesn't know the freedom of going anywhere you please as long as there's fuel in your tank
>he doesn't know the feeling of going WOT through a long stretch of open road
>he doesn't want to step on the GAS GAS GAS
Faggot

Yes but it's more homosexual than taking dick up your ass

>burger flippers shit on public transport
>don't even realize they had pretty decent public transport before the automotivejew betrayed them and the country
Glad I'm not a clapper

...

>Renault-era Nissan
>beat to shit 240SXs with 200k+ miles, mismatched bodypanels, and shoddy engine swaps

It's perfect I couldn't be happier.

That's impossible with all the mudslimes you keep letting in, europe-kun.

You're right about it being impractical af, but i still love mines.

City pleb detected

Enjoy your smog and traffic

While I'd be all for there being better public transportation within US cities, I think people outside of the US sometimes forget how big the country as a whole is and that not everyone lives in a city.

Off the top of my head I know Australia is apparently as big as the US, but don't know how they handle transportation.

They only live in two cities

>public transport systems
Which exist in large cities. Unfortunately for us, our country isn't the size of a thumbtack like yours in yurop.

Why own a car when you can be a track master?

Who buys a 2 door coupe for practicality anyhoo.

Only sub humans use public transportation

It's not impressive that your country that is smaller in size and population than my state alone has public transportation.

You only need two seats anyway: one for you, one for your waifu.

You also have an excuse for not giving your friends rides.

Challenger Hellcat

It's less to do with size than it is how the US is divided into districts. In Europe the cities tend to be regional capitals that get to build infrastructure that branches out into their suburbs and satellite towns, while in the US cities are more limited to their immediate jurisdiction, and infrastructure has to go through county and state bureaucracy to get built. So it never happens.

The daily semen rations

Everybody in Australia lives in a handful of urban areas, mostly in the south east. There's fucking nothing in most of the country.

Anyway because the US was mostly built after cars were invented, even population centers aren't very densely populated so there aren't enough people to really support most public transport and when you take it you waste a ton of time getting places. Also you aren't allowed to shoot people for being smelly and rude in crowded areas.

Finally,

Almost every anime character is too young to own a car.

lets say you live in a city with tons of people, and no parking space.
parking space for your car cost money, a spot can cost close to your rent.
you will no longer drive your car to anywhere close because you wont beable to find parking once you get there.
so you will mainly need a car for trips or far travel.
at that point, why own a car, when you can just rent one when you need it.

I have this strange fantasy about fingering her while she's driving the Yukarimobile, unsure whether or not we'll crash and die. The thought of a life-or-death scenario somehow enhances the boner.

Do any MC's own a car besides Dagumi?

Also the ride is double the fun if you go standing up

...

Mechs are just fantasy cars that are more fun to draw.

No, subhuman monkeys.

Who said I'm european, negro-kun?

>what are cities
>what are counties

Driving is not as scary as it looks, I promise.

Driving itself isn't scary, other drivers are.

Holy fuck, this.

Always assume that everyone else on the road are braindead mouthbreathers because it's usually true. You don't want to be side-swiped by some Stacy Sweet-Sixteen in her Mercedes Benz crossover who tried to merge into your lane while texting on her phone.

Reminder that the car is not just a tool for normies, but also an escape for social recluses.

Parents want you to hang out with friends? Tell them you will, and then drive wherever you please.

Feel the need to cry? Go for a relaxing drive to calm your nerves.

Bored of the Internet and video games, but no other hobbies? Enjoy cleaning and tinkering with your baby.

Want to feel some freedom for once in your life? Go for rip at 3am when everyone is asleep and tear up the road.

...

>have to be an adult to drive
>vast fucking majority of anime characters are middle school-aged to 16 years old

not being able to drive is moe

Driving a badass car is even more moe

An aging rail network.

Public transport varies greatly though from town to town.

It all depends on how the city was developed with it in mind.

Walking accomplishes all of those things with additional health benefits at no cost.

The car is also a box where you can isolate yourself, also you car use it to comity suicide

except by the time you leave your neighborhood on foot i'm already over the bridge and half way across town

driving is simply funner than walking

leave it to a south american to say they enjoy riding cramped smelly buses

I love that I can talk to myself all I want and I don't need to worry about someone hearing

It's the ultimate safe space

Who on planet earth is young enough to be told to hang out with their friends by their parents and simultaneously drive a car.

>Tell them you will, and then drive wherever you please.
If you're a social recluse then the chances are that you prefer being at home than being outside.

>Go for rip at 3am when everyone is asleep and tear up the road.
Yeah tear them up at 30mph

>wanting to get groped and raped by multiple strange men where no one will hear or save your muffled moans
kek

At the ages of 16-18, plenty of parents still have hope that their anons can grow up normal, and will push them. Some parents don't give up until they're in their mid 20's

because they are all betafag harem mcs?

what kind of cuck uses the fingers?

>what kind of cuck
fuck off kid

>living in a 3rd world shithole
lmao @ your life

Minivan doors for more whores

Toyota, some nissan, new Kias are ok, Hondas, and subaru (if you have the cash). Then there are the one off years where a brand had a great year IE Pontiac Vibes with motors designed by toyota. These are just the average vehicles and not ones where you need some decent cash.

Aside from having to make sure you walk just enough to make sure you have the energy to get back, you also have to worry about being hit by people who can drive. I live on the outskirts of a city and there are hardly any safe places to walk outside of my neighborhood. Also fucking bugs.

>Yeah tear them up at 30mph

Do you guys not have highways near you? Most roads on my commute have a speed limit of 45, to say nothing of actual expressways and interstates.
