  You took pride in your car. If it was your car, you saved up for and not one your parents bought you you had a connection. You knew you were looking after it. I've never had fancy cars, they were almost in the state of rust buckets. People used to knock their doors in to it because "it's old, I mustn't care". No, I saved money to buy that car. It's a feeling you just can't experience without looking after the car practically. The feeling of changing the oil and hearing the different it made. The principle of saving and owning things too is gone.

    This is your experience, but I'm not sure you can generalise it to most people's experience. I like cars - admire them, even - but my car was first and foremost a tool, and my relationship with it was as such. I did the work required to keep it running, but I didn't want to spend more time than that on it. Ditto my 3D printer. There are a lot of things that I'm willing to give the personal touch to, but there are many things where I just don't care and just want it to work, and you can't know ahead of time what that is for everyone. Given that, I'm more than comfortable with giving everyone the tools to Not Give A Shit:tm: for any given subject - if they want to experiment, they will, but that burden shouldn't be pushed onto everyone for every subject. After all, time spent on things you don't care about is time you can't use on the things you do care about.
