It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

To me this sound more like that you’re perhaps not very experienced driver

Nah ... driven (and ridden motorbikes) plenty.

It can be plenty of fun on the open road or when doing it with friends and cruising around. But the moment there's traffic and the density of an actual city ... nah, there's something off about it for me. I only tend to notice it once I stop driving around for a while and then get back in a car. I don't mind driving, but there's something there for me.
