    I personally love mine but again, car enthusiast. Like mostly hobbies just the act of doing the hobby is enjoyable.

    I hope this is my last one though. If I ever buy a car again so help me it'll be electric. I didn't this time because I have literally no place to charge it and my landlord refused to add a plug even though I offered to pay for it. And before anyone is like WHY WOULD NEED A CAR because even though I live in one of the transit capitals in the US, my partner works outside the city and there's no way to get there without one. Blame America

      The only reason I have a manual is because all the connected IoT shit in cars is terrifying. Like how someone could just hack your car and force it to crash into tree at 100mph. Or software bugs leading to brakes not working, etc. I don't think mine is connected in that way but even if it is I can put it in neutral and turn the engine off with the key.

          There's a SAAS motorcycle helmet with a built in airbag. If you aren't current on your airbag subscription and you're in an accident it simply refuses to save your life.

      I like it because adhd... it's a repetitive motion that replaces stimming so my brain can focus on something else.
