Your life must be pathetically short on pleasure if the choice of car substantially moves the needle, make some effort to diversify your sources of pleasure away from powered wheelchairs.

I don't know, there seems to be a lot of people who enjoy cars -- whether for looks, sport, status, collecting, fixing, restoring, etc. I don't think it's particularly surprising if I were chatting with folks at a party and someone would mentions cars as a hobby of theirs.

I think your charge could be leveled against most hobbies, especially collectibles. It seems a bit mean-spirited.

Eh, if you spend a lot of time driving, a quieter car with extra safety features can make those parts of your life more enjoyable.

Avoiding driving altogether should be step 1, though.

Sometimes people enjoy things you don't.
