    And boomers on Facebook are crying emoji reacting, and talk about how they could tune and repair 1970’s engines on the side of the road with minimal tools.

    Goddamn car enthusiasts, they need their choice of transportation to be literally evil.

      I wouldnt go as far as to call the horseless carraige evil, but you could absolutely argue that between how they isolate people in bubbles, kill pedestrians and are contributing to climate change anti-social for sure

      Which is pretty funny because modern cars are getting insanely reliable. My car is a decade old, I drive it from sea level to 14,000 ft without having to adjust anything, it gets almost 800 miles a tank on road trips, and I’ve done zero maintenance or adjustment beyond oil changes once a year and adjusting the seat heater or radio station.

      But ohhh the nostalgia for the 1970s beater dying every three months while the leaded gas melts your brain and you gotta feed it a quart of oil after a long (for those cars, 300 miles) road trip.

      Also, am car enthusiast. I feel the “typical” enthusiast should just be reclassified as “antique car enthusiast” at this point.
