Agreed. I enjoy the feel of a combustion engine, the sounds, and the drama. Particularly so from forced induction engines. I know electric is coming, and in many ways is already better, but it lacks the personality that I enjoy in driving (for now, at least).

Horses had an even stronger personality, but we manged to find joy in horseless carriages too.

Wish that was the case, but it was a poor southern country and he didn't show up to court so they dropped the charges :(

Wow. That usually results in an outstanding warrant here.
I was scared for a while, but I still love driving. More things will be electric in a few years, sure. Maybe we need more stern punishments for distracted driving. Maybe we need some more assistance to prevent us from going off the road when we are sleepy. But I think people will enjoy driving for the same reason they enjoy tube amps, it's not perfect, but it has a warmth and human element of imperfection to it and people might just like that.
