Coming from Reddit, there were multiple car-related subs and they all saw some fairly heavy traffic with lots of posts and comments. Heck, even some of the model-specific ones seem to get more interaction than this sub does. What’s the deal?

    i’ll be honest, you’re not wrong. cars are fucking lame. My dad was a mechanic, but over the years I discovered that I REALLY hate cars. Buying a car carries all the thrill and excitement of buying a used refrigerator. I do not understand the appeal or why people fetishize them like they do. they’re too expensive, they make our cities suck, and the people that want the “cool car” are always the worst kind of douchebag. I just don’t get it I guess.

      When is buying anything exciting? Most people who are into cars like driving them, not buying them.

        Generally the excitement comes from the anticipation of having a thing that you really want. Since I only buy cars out of necessity, and I don’t enjoy driving or owning them, It get’s really hard to look forward to it with anything other than dread. If I didn’t have to drive places occasionally I’d roll that thing into a lake and let the fish make their homes inside.
