Yeah, I would. Just dont like being around random folks. If its at a concert or something sure, we have a shared interest, but otherwise, no thanks.

I just don't get the appeal. I'd rather read a book, scroll Mastodon or look at the scenery while traveling than have to focus on the road.

I don't think Americans realize how many hours of their lives get wasted just so they don't have to sit next to strangers.

I get it. The privacy of a car is very nice. Its also nice at night vs riding the subway alone and wondering If at the next stop youll get mugged or shot when some crazy gets on. Its just a creepy feeling to me, I'm not used to it.

Also I don't live somewhere where theres really traffic. I enjoy driving, myself.
