Is it so wrong that I don't have any appreciation for them? To me, a car is just a common, everyday tool you use. In my eyes its just no more different than having a wallet, phone or a house. Who cares, its nothing to get excited about

I don't know about others,but for me its a complex assembly of lots of parts and every single one has a very good defined role and that's just fascinating for me.Every sound they make,every thing they do I find it really interesting.I had lots of car toys when I was little though,and kept playing older NFS's and watching car movies,so maybe that's what steered me(lol) towards them.

So you just completed a rite of passage that has been considered hallowed for the last hundred years, you earned what is widely considered the first true taste of freedom to do whatever you want, whenever you want, wherever you want, and you feel indifferent? Yeah, it is totally everybody else that is wrong on this one, not you. I mean, come on, right? Just look at you coming on to an anonymous board to seek validation from complete strangers, what could be more sociable than that?

this, but the idea that some person before i ever existed was put into a position to create parts or even the whole of a vehicle is astounding. like variable valve timing, or even a timing chain, cams and how they function within the engine, the harmonic balancer, how an engine continuously contains pressurized detonations to push you forward or backward...just everything about an engine is like mechanical magic.

I dont really get too crazy about cars, however, I do think a good knowledge of cars and how they work on base levels, as well as knowing which manufacturers tend to make cars that dont last/when parts fail, etc. are all good things to know. Loving cars is an appreciation for quality engineering, really. These machines become parts of our lives and can give us mobility, and even a good speed thrill.

You should treat your car like a baby. You should get your oil changed and do maintenance on it regularly. How you treat you car and the love and car you give it is going to relate to how long it lasts and how fucked your wallet will be. I have had engines blow, oil shoot everywhere due to bad engine gaskets, radiators bust, a wheel literally fucking flew off, hub and bearing and all due to bad joints, and break lines go out in a parking lot to the point where I had to slowly make circles in neutral until the car stopped because the fluid was completely gone.

You learn a lot about cars from owning shitty cars. TLDR, treat your fucking car like a baby and it will last for a long time.

I don't care about cars either, but I hope you at least looked at the reviews and stats before buying it. A car is a big investment.

You don't need a backup camera. Society existed for 100 years without them.

this. looking at backup cameras makes one miss so many areas. Relying on them too heavy just makes more blind spots for yourself. Besides, a small love tap at 1/90000th of a mph while paralell parking isnt going to hurt anything if it has to come to that.

In case you hadn't noticed, OP, consumerism is what normalfags have instead of a personality, and what you have there is one of the most outwardly visible and expensive things people commonly buy

>just everything about an engine is like mechanical magic
Indeed the whole engineering aspect is fascinating.And how the whole phenomenom evolved into what we have today,it's just so much to take in and think about.Everytime I press the clutch,the gas,the brakes,i shift gears or steer I like to imagine the whole process happening inside the car.Knowing you have so much power over something so complex,with little to no effort is stunning.
