Cars

pros and cons

pro
fun to build, race, own, collect, hopefully drive
personal statement, mobility, convenience
beauty, speed, power, privacy, pride
(driverless, in future!)
ride-sharing

cons
death, ugliness, noise, isolation, cost:
pollution, endangerment, pavement, isolation, bother, cost, opportunity cost, war for oil, murderous regimes, koyanisqaatsi, lack of stillness, hitchhiking, alternative modes of transport...

in other words,

danger to drivers, passengers, pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, other cars, traffic
traffic jams, frustration, anger, misery
concrete jungle, pavement not dirt, gravel, trees, nature
isolation, insular little world, cut off from society, alienation
bother: loud music, angry engines, horns (noise that annoys)
cost/opportunity cost: make friends, better health bicycling,
    absurd situation of going into debt to get  to work to pay for going to work (!).
    cost could be better spent on so much else (libraries?)
war for oil
supporting murderous oil regimes
less: stillness, calm, rest, stay at home; go! go! go!
hitch-hiking, danger (to both parties)
other ways to get there! (teleportation?!)
    bus, train, plane, boat, walk, bike, unicycle, skateboard, skate, rollerblade...
