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?

    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.

        Cars are an appliance. And I have two, a daily and a special.
        Both are appliances.

        I have two superbikes. They are useless for anything other than being shiny, making noise, and putting a smile on my face. They are also just appliances.

        I have a mountain bike and an eMTB. I have fun on them and they keep me fit but, guess what…? Yep, appliances!

          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
