Modern cars are amazing and you are missing out a lot by not having one. Public transport makes me want to kill myself. I would go as far as saying that you don't even grow into a full person unless you have a car.
Is this sarcasm? Or is the last sentence really something someone could think?
I feel like a bigger indicator of being a "full person" is getting over fear/disgust of public transit. I know plenty of people who are more well-adjusted than I am who don't own a car.
That's like saying we shouldn't prefer nature and tranquility over street noise. I agree that we should be able to handle the situation but when given the choice, we should make a choice that makes us happy.
I have. The car makes me feel good. Life is just an experience. Have fun. :)
