Indeed, it feels hard like a hard message to convey on these boards: some people (me) enjoy the act of driving a car. And almost every reasonably wealthy culture seems to like watching other people do it competitively.
- gambiting 10y agoI work in IT and it's incredibly hard to find like-minded petrol heads. Seriously, I have people who tell me on almost daily basis that they can't wait until they don't have to drive any more and when all manual cars are banned. It's nonsense. I love driving my car to work and for leisure, I spend at least few hours every week cleaning, polishing, waxing it, it's really my pride and joy. But for a lot of people it's this expensive box that is a constant source of problems and they can't wait to get rid of it.

Most of us here like computers enough to program them or mess around with them for our careers, but most people can hardly wait for the day they don't need to use a computer as they currently use it - it's an appliance to them mentally.
