I'm 100% less likely to get stabbed by a tweaker in my car than on public transit in my city.

Trains are not flexible and safe enough.

I have been to Singapore and Tokyo (train-centric cities), but cars are, unsurprisingly, easier to use in there.

You have pregnant wife or small kids? Trains are suicide in rush hours.

Because I value my autonomy and don't want to have to wait for a train to show up when I want to go somewhere. Also, paved roads are significantly cheaper to maintain than rail lines, which makes a substantial difference when you take into account the size of the US.

Because I like driving. It's really not that hard to figure out why the hive effort over EVs.
