You're a person after my own heart. Cars deserve better than to be used for commuting.
The more people we can get to not use cars for things the better cars will be. They wouldn't design ugly drab eggs in three colors if cars weren't treated like appliances.
I think the opposite is true. If cars weren't treated like they are a necessary part of the personality and instead just like a thing, the owners may stop valueing them less than other people's lives. Like 'I am in a hurry, I will just overtake that cyclist in front of me with an inch if distance, because I am so much more important.'
Plenty of people who don’t actually like cars do that not because the car is part of their personality but because they see the cyclist as “in their way.”
If someone truly loved their car they wouldn’t want a cyclist putting scratches all over it.
