1. I think V8 twin turbo German luxury sedans are cool (exhaust notes, torque curve, modifications, etc.) 2. cars can be a hobby (even if they aren't cheap and not the greatest for the environment) (detailing them, modifying them, going to car meets/clubs with owners loyal to the brand for years who have specific history and knowledge/experiences/stories) 3. I'm too much of a control freak to be able to "relax" while the car "drives itself" (to any degree). 4. I kind of like "being a hipster" and avoiding what's mainstream. I don't see how one can have a strong sense of identity when everybody has a Tesla.
