as the rappers "Injury Reserve" say "F@#k it, Jailbreak the Tesla
electronic cars will have the standard fun police fitted but whats stopping us from jail breaking the software and using our own the future will be the same except less people will be enthused by electric cars and drive off the shelf models but really nothing will change.. just technology

I guess the reality is that "Car Enthusiasm" was a "fashion" that had its time.
Cars are a relatively modern invention, so there were no enthusiasts before that. It's also not surprising that it would evolve and migrate over time. For my generation, a car & licence meant freedom and coming of age. Not sure it means anything to my kids. |

Having a car means extra expenses for most young people. Fuel, rego, insurance, maintenance, etc. It all adds up.
A lot of my friends just use public transport and uber to get around. I couldn't do it but it seems to work out alright for them. It might cost me more to have my own car but it's well worth it to me. |

I t-boned someone at circa 90km/h in my first Focus in 2011 and walked out of it with bruising from the seatbelt, burns from the airbags and temporary deafness #winning |

Cars are definitely safer now. When I totalled my white ba last year I just had a bruised elbow. The car was twisted though.

Boring electric cars of the future will probably have way more performance than today's HP cars.

It's the melodic symphony that resonates out of our toxic tailpipes that will capture the imagination of future generations. |

People are generally enthusiastic for their child hood. The cars dad drove, their first car. A guy at work at the pub last week was saying he can still access his first car, a Gemini and wants to restore it with his son. I say, "Gemini, meh". But it was his first car, not mine.
