I can tell them apart by color, and cars with only two wheels are called motorcycles.

Rumour has it that long cars are called vans
Even longer ones are called buses? I think

O my dear sweat niave fool...

just wait until you find out which words Americans use for cars & trains stuffs vs. the British.

It's like comparing Ringo Starr with George Carlin

my dear, we shouldnt begin to talk with german automotorics if you really wanna go that...kilometer... XD

here I was proud when I could name more than 2 different brands by their decals when stuck in traffic.

But what about ones with three?

I don't know, they exist, I saw them in the "Mr. Bean" series. However, I know that those with five wheels are also cars, but one of the wheels doesn't touch the ground

Ah, Reliants, Morgan Three Wheelers… don’t get them mixed up with trikes, though. They have their third wheel in the fro- wait…. so do Reliants 🤔 (average British moment)

Lucas electric! do you know?

Not well-versed with them ,no

*honk*

hey that's claimed by us trumpeter swans

I feel like my friends can relate heavily to this, whenever I start yapping.

super nice art. yeah I used to relate to that 😄 now I keep it clear from anyone who hasn't touched the topic first just how much i am into it

I know they go vroom.

I feel this in my soul

Stick to chatrooms. You'll be more easily ignored there.

me whenever trains come up in a topic:

#metoo when ma swans aren't aiding the #metoo movement

okay?

Them: *Incomprehensible mechanical jargon that could only make any sort of logical sense to someone who either spent $50000+ on a Mechanics education, or spent their entire childhood, teenage, and young adulthood utilizing cars, engines, and the maintenance, construction, and improvement of aforementioned cars and engines, as their entire literal identity; you talk about anything other than cars, they find you either disinteresting, or stupid*

Me: "That's cool. Hey did you know that a bigger car wheel spins slower than a smaller car wheel in order to cover the same distance?"

Them: "Uh, no, they obviously spin at the same speed? Whether or not a wheel is bigger or smaller doesn't matter, it still spins the same speed at 70 MPH; 70 MPH!"

Me: "....Oh ok you're not smart, just stupid with a hobby. Got it!"

I always hate car guys who mix up RPM and MPH D:

Cute, but I'm not speaking theoretically here. I'm speaking factually. If you wanna do the research and release an article to be peer reviewed to see if it gets accepted into the Journal, and later on by additional scientific study, proven correct? THEN you can talk about your time dilation theory all you like. But to answer your initial inquiry; what about it? Nothing, cause it doesn't apply to my original point, as it has no place in reality.

We can try again, but you're still incorrect.
I'm obviously not speaking of the vehicle's forward momentum in any way. I'm speaking of the momentum the wheels on the vehicle are spinning in an effort to traverse the same distance as another set of wheels of larger or smaller size. It is an objective fact that if a vehicle is going 70 miles an hour, a smaller wheel has to complete more rotations than a larger wheel in order to maintain that velocity.
Example: Do you seriously think a shopping cart wheel going 70 miles an hour, completes the same number or rotations as a semi truck tire? If you do, you're an idiot.
Example: Do you seriously think the planet Mercury would complete the same number or orbits around the sun as Neptune, if both were going the same orbital velocity? If you do, you're an idiot.
I don't know if your goal here is to try and appear smart or not? But it's not working out for you.

As an example, just for you, I included some math for you to prove my point:
Mercury is the closest planet to the sun
Neptune is the furthest planet from the sun

If we said fuck physics and allowed Mercury to orbit at say, 12000 mph(it can't it would fall into the sun. I know. But for the fun of it, lets say it wont), and lets have Neptune match that speed of 12000 mph?

After crunching the numbers, Mercury would orbit the sun once every 400 days, give or take a few days depending on Astronomical effects. Neptune? Would take ~167 years. Or 60900 days.

Smaller orbit, same speed: 400 days
Bigger orbit, same speed: 60900 days

Make the rotations much smaller(tire vs shopping cart wheel), the general concept is the same. Smaller rotational range? Faster rotational velocity to maintain a static forward momentum.

gotta say you sure do nail drawing cars as cute lil side profiles!

Me neither and he is in his element.

TL;DL; Cars are necessary outside areas with public transport, and frequently preferable to said public transport depending on how often it is occupied by mentally unwell.

AAA? That's a car insurance company. They have great deals on....

All I can hear in my head are car horns going off every time another car appears in his speech bubbles

THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME!

i know a lot about fixing cars.

My girlfriend is a good driver and she keeps her car very clean. Regular maintenance is a must. Thaaat's about all she knows.

I am guilty of this level of info dumping...on multiple subjects, including cars...I am NOT sorry 🤣

this is legit me. dont know much get me talking cars itll be hard to shut me up

Cute. As for cars, everyone has their own interests.

Car go Beep Beep.

The bottom of the tire has zero forward velocity the top of the tire is traveling twice as fast as the car.

Car mechanic. Best thing is I don't talk about them because I'm tired of fixing them.

Yep, Car-Guys/Girls.
Very (over-)helpful for picking a car ^w^

As a car girl, I know how to translate car to girl so I got'chu.

Get this guy in my DM’s, we could talk cars for WEEKS

When you don't realize you just asked someone about their hyperfixation

Its easy, just have to sing the song.

I can relate, I just pretend I know what everyone talks about.

OOOOH! Okay, as someone who doesn't know much about cars, my husband is a HUGE car guy and I feel this in my soul. One of the things that helped me was old videos from the US Auto Industry that explains different parts of how a car works, because they were made for young farm boys going to WWI/WWII who had never touched a car before. They're a little dated, but the basics are there and it's all free online. My personal favorite is this one explaining split differentials, which is what allows cars to turn, since the wheels on the inside of the turn spin at a different speed than the wheels on the outside. It helps me to just learn one part at a time, otherwise it's a bit overwhelming.

I'm in my 30's, and we grew up with Top Gear/Grand Tour (which I highly recommend! Especially the adventure episodes). One of the hosts (Jeremy Clarkson) is a car journalist and after decades dedicated to writing, driving, and hosting a show about hundreds of cars, he couldn't do most repairs to save his life XD Point is, you don't have to be an expert to have fun with it. I can check my oil and add liquids, and maybe change the tire in a complete panic, but I don't have the same level of passion as my partner does for cars and that's fine. I delved into it a bit so I can at least hold up a conversation - and like most anyone who's passionate about their hobby, they'll be happy to explain if someone shows curiosity. We'll go to races (from rally cars to Formula 1, all kinds really) and have a blast, and I don't need the specifics to enjoy the show.

I hope this helps a little? If you even wanna go down that path ^^;. After well over a decade together, I've just picked up car info over the years lol. I've also info dumped about animal facts, pet care, art stuff, etc so I'm equally guilty haha!

I love the old top gears too but Clarkson at least has more problems than not knowing car repairs, as his notorious meltdown over Greta Thurnberg indicates

If you talk about cars with ma swan boi Paul Cygnus he's a kindred spirit on cars post-2000. But historic cars...well that's a special interest weaponized autism well spring of accumulated knowledge surpassed only by his special interest weaponized autism well spring of accumulated knowledge of trains and planes

This is the way

Ah, deep interests and unable to read social clues. Delightful. xD

My dad was like this... when discussing the weather.

I feel you. Also this is very cute.

That's okay, he probably knows nothing about how your workflow functions either. If you've got such a conveyance he'll probably make sure it doesn't fail you if you're spending time with him.

they go faster when they are red

Such mood....

I heard there's this thing called a sky car its very long and it has only 3 wheels and it magically teleports you from one place to another, such a weird concept

This is me. I've mastered the art of smiling, nodding and throwing in the occasional "uh-huh" when folks start talking about cars.

You're out of luck with your boyfriend !

I can be like this, especially with my favorite brand (Mini/MINI) haha

I even go to clubmeetings and do puzzle tours with my wife and kids.

Considering the fact that I don't have a car myself, I also don't understand that much about cars myself, especially since I'm only able to drive around on a moped scooter. ;)

I imagine this is how people feel when they ask me something about one of my special interests and I start info-dumping without realizing it.

she now has some one to help her with the blinker fluid.

Yeah this is a thing that happens. cx But the good thing is, they can read your car's tea leaves through your broken car parts if something ever goes wrong with it!

Once the car furs show up in any furry chat, it's over.

Me neither

Basically me with trains.

Everything is simple here: there are Chinese cars and non-Chinese ones.

Awww, this is cute AND heavily relatable!

I choose to believe he's telling you this in Simlish.

CAAAAAARRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

How I feel xD

This is me in a nutshell
