Everyone has something they can't stop themselves from nerding out over - but often it's hard to find people to talk to about it. So go ahead, share your interests, and tell us about them!

Cars. And I really like to talk reliability and engine design and other design related stuff, most car people don't even care about that. (Obviously there are plenty who do)

I drive a Honda insight which is a 3 cylinder 1L. Most car guys do not care about something so small but I think it's very interesting that it was designed for such a specific purpose, and works quite well

I think that's cool! Little tiny engine powering a modern car. Likely with a gear ratio designed to make it feel peppy up until ~60mph

I’ll gladly talk about cars with you!

[–] Shikadi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol cool, what's your favorite car and why

[–] CommissarVulpin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That’s a tough question, but I’d say the Pontiac GTO. I just love the way it looks, especially the stacked headlights

[–] Shikadi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That's a very pretty car indeed, I just realized I don't have a favorite right now. I really like old fairlady Z cars and old BMWs, love the look of the e30 m3
