What makes idiots love a car? Anything but the things they say because the completely uninteresting fact is that people like reliable cars, whether they acknowledge it or not.

That's weird because I love my car and it has zero cupholders.

And I thought it was their appeal to laziness.

Don't mind me if I'm wasting energy to move a potentially lethal metal box that weighs maybe 2 tons, in which I am alone. Millions are also doing the same. It's perfectly sustainable and normal. Look, it even has a cup holder! Soon we won't even have to drive the multi ton cup holder!

EDIT: I was gonna say we're getting closer to a Wall-E type chair, but they apparently don't have precious cup holders.

Damn bro 2 tons? You got an F350?

No, just a regular EV can be that heavy. A Hyundai Ioniq 5 is about 2 tons.
