I recognize appreciating cool machines, I really do. I've just never been able to wrap my head around being a car guy. Spending huge chunks of change on a car, consistently modifying it, watching car shows all the time. I just dont get it. What's the big draw for you?

I’ve been into cars as art from the moment I saw a Lamborghini. I view the mechanical work/modifications as a means to an end rather than the fun part.

I’ve not done a ton of performance upgrades, but I’ve upgraded my clutch to a ceramic and now, every time I shift, I get a more satisfying feel. It’s even better knowing I made that improvement myself.

Most of it comes down to the sense of pride and accomplishment I get from the finished result.

The mechanical feel is a big part for me.

Driving a rental 2025 legacy, made me hate cars in about 30 seconds. So if thats your car experience i see why people hate it.

Driving a 99 miata: permanent smile.

Acceptable!!

I do like the nb the best. The na pop-ups are amazing, but the nb is the better car overall to me. Drove an ND, hated it lol. Granted the ND was an auto but still
