I vaguely understand what you mean, but it’s impossible for me to fully grasp, as someone who sees cars as a means of conveyance with utility in speed solely owing to the ability to avoid frustration on the road. Frankly, the idea feels so alien to me that I am absent of questions. Which is rare for me.
And that's okay! Cars as an interest isn't for everyone, to me it is my passion, and my means to a living, but for most they are merely a tool and a burden, nothing more, but for some it goes beyond that. It is one of the very few hobbies/passion that is shared by the majority of those who don't care for it. Imagine if suddenly everyone in the world had to spend and hour of their day listening to heavy metal music, no negotiation, just has to as a means to living, for the majority, they would hate that hour of the day, but for those who are into it, they'd love it, well that is the automotive hobby, majority have to drive to live, so not everyone has to be interested in it, its just a tool, but for some, it is an expression of themselves, a connection to a past, something to improve themselves upon, or just a way to disconnect, cars can tell a story to some, but to others they're as colourful as a hospital hallway, and both are okay.
I really enjoyed your description of car people and the metal comparison. If by any chance your means of living is lyft or uber, I hope you are my driver one day soon.
If you can't even comprehend the idea of driving for fun, what makes you think you're qualified to comment on the topic? Corvettes are designed to do things you don't care about doing. Is it really any wonder you don't "get" them?
