I love cars because they're part art and expression, and part joy/relaxation. They're as unique as an individual's personality, and can be customized to suit. Driving on the open road is this synchronized dance of metal and flesh that propels you far faster than nature ever intended (less so if you drive an automatic). It's a testament to human progress. As someone who loves engineering in every specialty, cars blend mechanical, electrical, electronics, robotics, design...every engineering specialty there is, into 1 complete package that utilizes them all. Every inch of a car is meticulously crafted and lovingly sculpted by engineers, and its one of mankind's crowning achievements of modern society. It is singlehandedly the most complex, and most beautiful thing many of us will ever own.
Racing in and of itself has just as many forms, each pushing the limits of this engineering to new heights, and is a wonderful test bed for people to wring the most out of the world around us.
And each year, I marvel at the concept cars and the art of cars to come. It just tickles so many of my fancies.
This doesn't even begin to touch on the wide range that it's given me and others to travel and experience new places.
