The car fandom. The amount of people who can’t explain how a motor works but try to mansplain me how one motor is “better than the other” simply because it has more displacement is… Staggering.
Someone recently told me that electrical motors are bad for the environment because you need to replace the brushes every few thousand kilometers.
And to top it all off, apparently older cars are better for the environment because bigger motors run more efficiently when they’re not at 100% power. I nearly get an aneurysm talking to those people.
Extra torture is talking to people like this while daring to be female!
I’ve literally had men tell me that my car, that I am driving, is a) just a completely different car with a body kit, b) a kit car, c) illegal to use on the road, d) a gas guzzler because it’s a V8, e) cool because it was in Back to the Future
The car in question? An old and bone stock Dodge Daytona, which is none of those things.

This 100% as a fan of cars and the technology and beauty of it all the amount of people who say they like cars but don’t know shit is hilarious.
