No. I’m able to understand that people buying cars do so for lots of reasons. Some of us are able to know that and yet still love driving and cars. It’s not a binary world. My wife loves driving but isn’t really interested in performance or handling per se. She loves the freedom and ability to explore. Like just about everyone here she lives in the real world where cars aren’t on tracks or driven on their door handles every single day. She loves cars but for a different reason to the next person.
See. Not binary. Simple isn’t it.

Whisper it but lots of people get their excitement from other things. It doesn’t have to be cars. And if they do it doesn’t make them boring.
I used to get excitement from my missus once upon a time, but she doesn't allow that now...so I come here instead! 
You're relatively young so maybe your approach is not quite right. Or maybe I am just lucky.

Be kind, flowers and a few surprises. Tiffany / Cartier jewellery or a weekend in London and a trip down New Bond Street. Oh and you have to buy stuff too.
Now back to cars.

Perhaps he is becoming frustrated with ignorant opinions. Ie those not based on evidence and experience.
What do you say?
I say you’re talking nonsense. Anyone can have an opinion. What do you say?
You see opinions are not the same as feelings. You seem not to understand this.

Of course. It's the validity of that opinion that counts.

Your opinions about track driving aren’t valid using your analogy, as you weren’t a very good track driver. But yet you do comment? You see opinions are not the same as feelings. You seem not to understand this.
As for over sharing I don’t think anyone has reached the level of cringe that you have managed

Yes you do seem to be, simple that is.
Every time you post you’re given a chance to show that you’re able to understand things. And every time you pass it up and resort to childish ad-homs. Impressive.

Why do you have a problem with neg posts then? Look at the Urus thread, universally hammered but no one getting all prissy in defence.
TX.
I have no problem with them if they come from a position of knowledge or experience. Otherwise it’s just yelling at clouds and what’s the point of that? It just ends up being noise and no signal. Don’t like a car? Great. Move on and talk about ones you do. No-one cares. TX.
I answered you earlier and you ignored that anyway.
“ Probably because some people can't help but make their criticisms personal - see comments like 'boring people', 'no-one who likes driving would want one' and so on, ad nauseum.
There seems to be a very strong refusal, amongst some of the vehemently anti-EV posters, to accept that some people like them, some people find them a great solution for their needs. Those most against them appear to have very rarely actually driven one, but instead seem to want to seek out EV threads to tell everyone how st they are.
And if bashing is allowed (which is very clearly is because it happens on literally every single EV thread), then responses to it also are.”
