It literally makes zero sense in reality to pilot a 2000 pound, 30sqft machine, powered exclusively by geopolitically strategic resources, to a bottle neck park that is not at all equipped to handle your machine, on a beautiful day, in an area with plentiful public transit and walking and cycling trails.

And then multiple hundreds of people do it and then they get mad about it.

That is peak carbrain.

Or its being used to chauffer someone who can't walk or ride a bike, and would have a hard time utilizing public transit. Because it's peak smug jackass to assume everyone who uses a car is too lazy to walk.

Do you think every single person driving around the tidal basin to see the cherry blossoms is incapable of walking or using public transit?

No, but assuming everyone in those cars is capable of walking is equally implausible. I have a mother who's wheelchair bound and wanted to see the cherry blossoms so I drove her around. Does that make me a carbrain?
