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.

He might have been even better off with an e-bike. It would nix the insurance and gas costs, and would make it more practical for riding on more than just roads.

But regardless, moving away from a car is a great way to save money.

Moved away from a car to a tank, not seeing the savings.

I need the tank to feel safe.
