Cars are so fucking boring. People that are like "into" cars will never make sense to me. They treat them like they're something more than machines made of bolts and metal and plastic. May as well get really "into" toaster ovens or washing machines. Who gives a fuck
I could see being interested in cars if you're an aspiring engineer type and like to see how things work, since there's a lot that goes into cars, but they would also be interested in other things.
Dude, this GTX 5778 i with quad turbos can run Skyrim with so many ENBs, its gonna be thrilling when I finally get a stable modlist to actually play the game.
I don’t get the people who are just into the aesthetics, but I can totally get liking to understand how they work. And it makes basic upkeep and repairs significantly easier. Also, toaster ovens and washing machines are neat. They’re relatively simple machines but they’ve been optimized so heavily for energy efficiency
Depends on what kind of car you're talking about IMO. Anyone who passionately defends their right to sit in traffic on their way to work in their financed 2010 Toyota Camry is a freak, but there are definitely fun and interesting cars out there.
Plus I don't think many car enthusiasts deny the need for alternative forms of transit. Here's Matt Farah, popular automotive YouTuber, calling out JBP in the QRTs of OP's post

This is shortsighted because cars can (along time ago) be fun! But the hijacking of public transport to force everyone on the road sucks. Now it's not fun at all. Then you get car culture gentrified by venture capitalists and white bros with Monster Energy sponsors and Metal Mulisha shirts, and... well, the personality gets replaced by shaka hand gestures.
historically they're like the purest commodity, our entire civilization is built around them, naturally propaganda will make people love them. there's a reason SUV ads show road trips in the mountains but everyone who owns one only drives a mile or two to work in them.

Yeah, every "car guy" I've known has been about modifying the things. They remind me of the AV nerds who are constantly fucking with electronics.
Or computer guys who only care about hardware for games, and couldn't tell you about anything to do with IT.
Or the plot of said games for that matter.

washing machines are actually materially feminist too, we hate to see a capitalist commodity winning
You say that, but have you visited r/vacuumcleaners? Because it fucking rocks
I dunno, r/vacuumcleaners sounds like it sucks

agreed. I'm always incompatible with "car people" in so many ways.
