Absolutely. It's all based off of a desire to be attracted to your own ideals of attraction, which, themselves, are based off of childhood-formed considerations of what those around you deemed attractive.

Mechanical technology is analog in function. Computerized technology is synthetic and electrical in function. Big difference.

Jalopnik isn’t any better than Speedhunters, no.

Shame about that. Genuinely, start-ups are more passionate than established companies.

Speedhunters does it for the profit, as any company would.

Of course I enjoy the aesthetics of a car. I can enjoy it because of how it makes me feel, like the gentleman in his garage. However, as you said, he doesn’t bring them out, because he only wants to admire their beauty for himself. He could care less about what…

Thanks! You too!

It’s cute (at least for me, subjectively). Nice.

Strike that, don’t burn it. I bet a lot of people would also be pleased by its visual character.

Seriously Guy? Seriously?

...I just wanted to say that.

Also, we like/want things based off principles garnered from either our childhood, our ancestry, and our species ancestry.

Those are the only reason why we do anything.

And my intro psych class lasted 4 years! It was a long one...

Nah, I finished 4 semesters of it and have to do it daily for my job.

Cool analogy though!

I see where you’re coming from, and I do agree, at least on a conscious level. But everything we do is based off of a subconscious factor that is embedded to us by way of either our species, ancestry, or our childhood. Everything we do stems from very primitive origins, and as such, dictates literally everything we…

You’ve already burned away your money on it. Why not burn it?

We don’t like things without reason. There’s always subconscious reasoning behind liking things.

Yeah well, Mr. Armchair psychologist here actually majored in Psych, and works in a career where it’s his job to psychologically profile everyone he meets daily, so he might actually know what he’s talking about.

Listen man, I don’t know the reasons for formulating the archetype of your past, but I can tell you that in order, from strongest to weakest, you would be:

Hot Hatch (road legal, fast, and utilitarian)
Dedicated track car (fast but unable to be used outside of a confined area)
Stanced car (made purely for the admiration…

I don’t doubt that there are portions of your subconscious that desire being a natural born predator. I never said you were a total slave to social judgement, only that you were in the context of your stanced car.

As for your hot hatch, utility comes to mind. This is a conscious decision to carry what you need to where…

I didn’t tell you. You told me.

Hence the point of energy harnessing... but okay.

Good correlation. Yeah, I’m the guy who’s disturbed by everyone. Actually, you’d think... that if I was as capable of psychologically dissecting everything as I was in the above post, that I’d also be capable of assimilating that there is nothing that I can do about people who have loud exhausts, stanced cars, loud…

Reaction times do come from brain stem reaction for a real driver.

Do you know what you’re talking about?

Exactly. And what else were cars made for, but the accelerated journey itself?

Right. Well, ‘Write’ing’ went right over your head too.
