Not hard to love cars.
I couldn’t agree more. I just made a 400 mile round trip in a day to see a doctor that would have taken over two weeks of rough travel in 1860. Even four days by train in 1890.
As long as I have a car, I’m fine.
To me a car is like a moving home, or a camper, I love just driving cross country through the heartland living out of an ice chest with my camping stove and sleeping bag.
Cars are great shelter, windproof and truly waterproof, it is a ball to park in some remote mountain pass during the winter and sleep in the car.
I despise what the left has done to the car and our freedom in and of the car.

Rock on!
besides firearms, cars are one of the greatest extensions of personal freedom.
Grew up with ‘60s muscle cars and fell in love with raw power and speed. These days, the technology has made it so a ‘sedate 6-cylinder sedan” can perform like the muscle cars of yore and with higher reliability - like to have some spare ponies under the hood, tires that grip like a Democrat holding an EBT card, and handling dynamics that allow some severe movements with control. Old enough to not want to use all of the above, but still enjoy knowing they are on tap.
It is not just cars he’s talking about. It’s modernity which comes from:
1. Overthrowing crony capitalists aka socialist/monarchists/etc.
2. Letting the free market thrive.
I also see no need to actually own a vehicle which will - statistically speaking - be spending 98% of its existence parked.
Further, learning to actually drive an automobile sounds rather bothersome.
And how can you really relax, enjoy the countryside, take a snooze, read a good book, or dine sumptiously while piloting a vehicle where an instant of inattentiveness could mean sudden death?

Cars are quite simply “Time Machines”. I love getting into them and feeling like I am in a spaceship, which again essentially I am, because I am “Flying” through “Space and Time”.
I am right there with him. I am a shameless car nut and have had a love affair with cars since I fell in love with the 1967 Mustang at 8 years old.
And it has cost me royal with the expense.
I think the American car culture is dying though. A lot of young people today just want a people mover pod. When I was young, I was drooling over Mustangs and Corvettes and Camaros.
With all the soul-less front wheel drive cars they make today, I can see why a lot of young men wouldn’t be caught up in the excitement of owning one.
But for me, a car = Freedom.
A car feels like Freedom. Straight up. When I am driving, I am Free.
This is probably the reason the Global Warming alarmists pro-transit commie libs want to destroy the car culture and get us all out of our cars and on trains and buses. Can’t allow the proletariat to be driving around free in their own paid for vehicles!
I hope there are cars in Heaven.
