Working on a crank idea that machines need to feel more like machines. When you run a car with an iPad you don't appreciate that actually it's more than a ton of metal that can kill somebody if you aren't careful.

i have a theory about this related to modern vehicle designs. Newer, bubble-shaped cars/SUVs have much better fields of view, that tuck parts of the vehicle out of the driver's vision, but not being able to see your own car as much tricks your brain into thinking its a screen, not a window.

I buy this. Sort of like how it's good to know how to break down a chicken bc it teaches you some degree of respect for the animal you're consuming. Fixing up an old car is a great way to understand a vehicle as a machine. This is kind of another one for the healthy masculinity/dudes rock files
