i feel like eventually cars kill just be thrown away once the tires go flat on them

I don't get car people

you don't see house people or boat people, yet it's so popular to be obsessed with cars

yes you do.

I live on an Island

anyone here who's even slightly rich obsess over their boat(s) and even argue about who has the best.

Every. day. at work.

why is popping the trunk or hood so complicated? it's like they know only faggots who don't know what an engine looks like will buy one and those people will take a car to a service station instead of ever doing shit manually

It works on lazy people too. All these fucking shrouds make me not want to do shit myself to the vee dub.

It just feels like a waste of a product. It doesn't really fit into any bracket, and it doesn't really have any competitor in the sense it's kind of in an awkward tier. It's sort of a track car but not really. It's more a concept production model then an actual full production car.

It's a full production car you can buy

It's too slow to be a track car, and you can't really modify it

It's for people who think they're saving the environment by buying a hybrid but in reality the production method of making the batteries and such for hybrid cars is much worse than the emissions of a combustion engine

it's for rich idiots, and it works cause it's selling

I know it's a full production, I'm saying it doesn't feel that way. It's just a strange product.

The idea I guess was for it to be an entry level hybrid super car, which I guess fits it and nothing else, but it's still an incredibly niche car.

I wouldn't go as far to call people idiots for buying an i8, I know atleast 3 people who have them. It certainly is a car I can see why people would buy, and it looks stunning in certain colors, but it's just not a car I can justify choosing when compared to others in its price range.

Hell, I'd rather have an M4 then an i8

i'd rather have an E30 than an i8

concept cars are getting closer to reality since were always getting new technology, car manufacturers can make crazier shapes and build weirder things, eventually we'll just get 3d printed cars, and I think there are already some

I'd say it's the most conceptual car you can buy right now. And I own three hybrids, and they feel real and non-niche. I guess it was a test for BMW to see if a niche-entry level super hybrid would work. And by the looks of it, it has been doing fairly well.

there's definitely boat people, and i'm surprised you haven't met any as a michigander

but yeah, car people are bizarre

I've seen old men who are proud and defensive about the fishing boat they've had for twenty years or whatever, but not high school kids who talk about the specifics of boats and collectable ones and such, like they do with cars.

I guess everyone has a hobby, there's worse things than cars. But it's still a tad askew

young people have been enjoying cars and talking about them since cars have been around

pretty common hobby across the US and the rest of the world for young people

cars give you tons of freedom to express yourself and customize and the value their owners put into them give them more than just sentimental value

plus there's tons of different scenes and genres that you can get into

Cars are more dependable then women... and hurt twice as much when they leave.
