I love American muscle cars (both classic and modern V8’s - gasoline and diesel, even coal runners) but I couldn’t find a community about these beautiful machines, so I decided to create one: https://lemmy.ml/c/american_muscle For all American V8 fans! :)

Try taking up a hobby that isn't killing everybody else.

Heads up friend, if you want to actually make an impact you should vote with your wallet and only support countries and companies that are committed to change since they are the ones doing most of the polluting.

Personal choices are important, yes ... but a single person choosing to enjoy a muscle car is such a small difference in pollution compared with Chinese factories and the military industrial complex that is several thousand times smaller than the margin of error for these kind of metrics.

To add on to that, lots of motorsports are actually turning pretty progressive when it comes to climate change, for example Formula1, NASCAR and the WEC use renewable fuels and are making good progress to being carbon neutral.

Anyways, attacking someone's hobbies while may make you feel superior makes you look preachy and dickish to everyone else.

Hahahaha, right, because the electric vacuum cleaners are soooooo safe, exploding more often than a gasoline car. 🤣 🤣 🤣

That's bullshit. There are more ICE vehicle fires than EV's. One of many studies.
