I was exploring YouTube just now and happened across a review for the brand new Toyota 4Runner. While the review itself was excellent, I made the fatal mistake of scrolling down to the comments section. In it, I saw this ghastly view which I find to be rather soul-crushing but none the less present in the automotive world. Here it is:
"I agree having a reliable car is very scarce nowadays. Other companies are now just making cars for design because many idiots think a car has to look nice, like I dont understand a car should not look nice, it is a tool not an intimate thing. It should be relaible and only reliable and safe. Thats why I only buy Toyota cars."
Here is my response:
"I heartily disagree with the notion that a car should not look nice. In my case, it should be like a finely tailored suit, perfectly matching my wants and needs. Additionally, the world would be much more bleak if cars were only tools, as that cold, impersonal functionality tends to spoil motoring for me. That is the primary reason I purchased a 1962 Studebaker GT Hawk as my first car. Go ahead and laugh at my 'idiocy', but at least I have a car that I am truly satisfied with and is (for the most part) a financially appreciating asset."
What do all of you think of this whole mess?
