[โ] uint8_t@feddit.de 11 points 2 years ago (1 child) Small diesel car is much better than huge EV car in any city.

Living on a busy road has honestly made me dislike cars much more though, they are SO NOISY, and people around here rev their motorbikes and car engines so damn much especially at night time. I'm a deep sleeper so I don't hear it unless I'm awake, but I feel sorry for the neighbours. Even the buses that go past are way quieter than the cars (the electric ones are completely silent), dunno if they're using more expensive tyres or something ๐คทโโ๏ธ. Also I can forget opening windows during rush hour periods. The exhaust smell takes over the house pretty quickly, especially when there's start/stop traffic โน๏ธ permalink fedilink source parent
