I recognize appreciating cool machines, I really do. I’ve just never been able to wrap my head around being a car guy. Spending huge chunks of change on a car, consistently modifying it, watching car shows all the time. I just dont get it. What’s the big draw for you?

    What are your thoughts on EV and Hydrogen-powered sports cars? They don’t exist (yet), but if they did, would that help change your mind?

      No. I prefer my appliances functional ;sports cars exchange function for form. Morehowever, the wasted created per is still disproportionate to what is reasonable

        And there’s your problem, you see cars as an appliance.

        Why even bother driving if you’re going to have that attitude? Just take public transport if you really hate cars that much.

            I gotta say, it’s wild behaviour to come into a vehicle appreciation post and call them toasters hahaha.

            Your bike is an egg timer, but if you’re passionate about egg timers then so be it, enjoy that countdown. When you find yourself in an artisanal grandfather clock festival, keep the egg timer in your pannier.

              I’m going to shit on people who actively make my life worse. Cars are regressive.

              Alao, I didn’t call them a toaster lmfao
