Just playing devils advocate here:I don't know about where you live but there are a lot of horses around here and it's not the country. Also WAY more equestrian facilities than (none) race tracks. Just don't ride them to work.
The cuck thing is getting played out, is that the new "pussy" or "***" to insult my manhood to make your argument about technology more pointed?
I respect your view and experience as a "real" (mean that with respect not sarcasm) driver compared to someone like myself just modding shit for the street. I think my hobby is, in that sense, far more likely to disappear before your's.
5G and IoT is going to kill modding way before EVs with new cars. I'll bet on that. More worried about everything "phoning home" and auto-updating than I am EVs as far as aftermarket fun. There will always be a place for track toys, too many enthusiasts with money, like horses. But auto companies are becoming more comm. and data driven, smart grids and interaction. Listened to (can't remember his name) CEO of Ford about 1-2 years ago and out right said the cars are just a delivery device for wireless com, fast tracking ambulances, self driving, etc. Nice way to put a spin on soon all new cars are leased not owned soon (think about how you "own" your cellphone, you don't, forced updates some which slow it down, ToS economy). Tesla is ahead of the game in that sense.
My mom owns a 2003 BMW X5. For how much can she sell it? $2,500-3,000?
I like to buy my stuff. But most of it loses so much value you might as well just pay a monthly fee and always have the latest and greatest? You're also not taking anything to the grave.
