I'm gonna use this line whenever my pro-car cheems mindset [0] family complain about new bike lanes getting installed :D

Let me guess, they're against bike lanes while simultaneously complaining about too much traffic?
Indeed, and god forbid separate bike paths / infrastructure. The main complaint is that bikes don't pay tax / registration, but usually after I get them to agree that vehicles should pay in proportion to the damage (and commensurate repair costs) they inflict on the infrastructure and then show them this chart [0], they usually end up just resorting to insulting my "libtard values" or something. Cubic functions are not something I think they remember from school...

That's hilarious (and sad), thanks for sharing. IIRC driving a 9 ton big rig is a constitutional right.
