    This is the #1 thing that is turning me off from being a car enthusiast by a mile. So even if you stay completely legal, abide by every traffic law, if you do some hard acceleration for fun, you’re insurance bill is gonna go way up because the car is selling that data.

    I love digital tech and I love a fun car but mix the two and you got a match made in hell.

      then just be a car enthusiast for old cars and not new ones.

      there’s basically zero new (attainable) cars that inspire any kind of awe other than crazy supercars tbh.

          Hell yeah dude, motorbikes can be really good fun for cheap. Just don’t get turned into pink paste on the front of a Peterbilt and it’s good.

          I could never get into highway bikes, I don’t trust local drivers that much… I’ve definitely got plans to get myself a dirt bike though, had one a long time ago as a young teen and want to get back into it.
