But the merchants have created in us the desire to have these big steel quadrupeds (which are getting bigger and bigger) to ride alone…

My neighbor behind me is a single dad with one kid but drives a full size Yukon or some shit. He HAS a driveway, but refuses to use it and parks perfectly square on the sidewalk instead.
He also parks by flooring it down the main residential, whipping it around the corner and slamming the brakes on the sidewalk. Thought he was in a rush the first time. Nope, he does it every. Single. Time.
