They're a constantly evolving miracle of engineering and I hate them and want them to go away forever
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.
