Everybody can use the carpool lane now!
"You know you need at least 1 other occupant to be in the carpool lane, sir?"
"But officer, when you're alone, you're riding with Hitler!"
Umm maybe we could also stop building/using vehicles with 4 or 5 seats that only carry 1 person and maybe a bag on a daylie commute.
Bonus points if we use the space saved to build bike lanes and greenery
Yeah, aren't you driving with three Hitlers when driving alone?
Well you can already do that. I have 3 vehicles. A 2021 Radrunner RadPower 2 E-bike, a 2018 Chevy Bolt EV, and a 2008 Dodge Sprinter. I've converted the Sprinter to run on used cooking oil. I listed them in that order, as that is the most to least used. I basically never use my EV or Sprinter by myself. I might be in the sprinter alone until I get to whatever friend I am helping move big stuff, but then I have at least one other person in the van.
I realize that doesn't do anything for anyone else, but it eliminates the vast majority of my carbon footprint since the sun is powering the first two vehicles, and my house.
Now with electric being so much heavier, you are riding with fat Hitler who causes the tires to be used up even more.
Inb4 we get a "Weekend At Bernie's" redux.
Reynolds or Gosling driving?
Only RyRey has a face that symmetrical. Nice Guys style, RyGos is probably in the back seat waiting to jump out and grab ghost hitler.
I've seen this pic multiple times on the internet, but had no idea it was an actual WW2 poster until today :/
