An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that's the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

Well that sounds cool; what about those of us who live in conservative hellscapes? I'm pretty sure 'road maintenance' is a sin here

I dunno, maybe take their conservative advice and violently overthrow your government?

Real talk, you'll have a hell of a time arguing for the upgrades, but even so, I only suggest switching to bricks when the road needs to be resurfaced anyway. The road works well enough as-is, this is just an improvement.

Oh, the road needs resurfacing, most of them here do. Decades of conservative government will do that

When you've inevitably barricaded yourself in city hall, just remember: we never met, this conversation didn't happen. Revan? Never heard of 'em.
