HEATED Opinions on Electric Vehicle Politics & Mile TAX in California!

A lot of car enthusiasts tend to push back against EVs because they feel something important gets lost when you remove the engine noise, the gears, and the hands-on mechanical connection that made older cars special. Classic and older cars offered raw driving feel, simple parts, and the freedom to wrench on them yourself, which made building and modifying affordable and personal. Newer cars, especially modern EVs and heavily computerized vehicles, are quicker and more efficient, but they often feel less engaging and harder to customize since everything is locked behind software and expensive components. Back in the day, you could pick up a project car cheap, swap parts in your garage, and build something unique without breaking the bank. Now, higher car prices, costly parts, specialized tools, and tech-heavy systems make even basic builds expensive, which is why many enthusiasts still believe older cars are “better” — not necessarily faster or safer, but more fun, accessible, and connected to the true spirit of car culture. #automotiveanatomy
