Fucking thousands of pounds of lava, carefully cooled then machined into hundreds of precise shapes, assembled, then filled with explosions powered by the souls of dead dinosaurs? And I own one? Just to go to the grocery store? WTAF

    I'm am frequently in awe of the complexity of modern cars. I like to think about all of the tiny bits and how they all work together with minimal maintenance for many years. Most of those parts are made by other complex machines which are made using another set of complex machines.

    Basically all gas engines these days go 100k miles before dying if maintained. That's billions of little contained explosions that we take for granted.
