thinking about how there's never gonna be another ship like destiel because shows simply don't last as long as spn did anymore therefore no ship could ever have the build up and history destiel had that spanned 12 years on and off screen and still continues now

Welcome to Things About Cars In Posts!

This is a blog that posts factoids/opinions on cars or car-related concepts featured in posts or asked about via askbox or (preferably!) post submissions. It was inspired by @identifying-cars-in-posts, which I love (I would've made it myself years ago had I known anyone would care!) - I thought that to most people associating an unfamiliar car to an unfamiliar name must be far less interesting than learning something about it, even if that something is just my opinion on it. So here I am!

"Is this just an excuse for you to ramble about cars?" No, it's a great excuse for me to ramble about cars!

"Can I spam your notifs/correct you/derail your posts/DM you/send a five paragraph ask about [x]/etc?" Literally any interaction with me short of breaking into my house is encouraged, and the more you say the merrier! :) I just warn that I may take a couple days to address your interaction, especially as sometimes I may choose to answer it after I publish another post to then be able to reference it. But now, if you wish to interact with me and/or other car weirdos, you can join the Discord server-about-cars-in-posts!

"What's this post not about cars?" DAMMIT I USED THE WRONG BLOG AGAIN

everybody warns you that you'll probably lose most sensation in your nipples. nobody warns you that there is a slight but very real possibility that the OPPOSITE will happen. and you will be so insanely hypersensitive,

I have a love-hate relationship with my fire alarm. mf is too loud to be going off at 3 am. for no reason.

What's your favourite unappreciated feature in a car? I can't remember when electric windows became the norm but I always thought they were so cool

I remember when my mother first showed me automatic windows with a sort of magic-trick-esque presentation, and I couldn't believe my eyes.

But yeah, for my "people don't know how lucky they have it" pick:

I don't know if I could count safety features, because you can only experience them when things go south, but if so probably ABS. It is extremely valuable to have a system whereby if you need to brake fast you can just mash the brake, which will be your instinctive reaction anyway, instead of having to develop technique to do your panicked self what ABS does but much worse.

If not: I drive a 1981 car and a 2017 car, and the most concrete differences between them in daily life are CVT (which is convenient but me likey doing the clunk clunk with the hand), Hi-Fi (Bluetooth stereo v. Bluetooth speaker, but Bluetooth isn't really a huge convenience of the car as much as the car getting compatibility with the huge convenience of the smartphone and thus would be little more than neat without advancements outside of the car, and I don't think stereos are that underappreciated) and finally, and here's the one really no one thinks about, central locking.

Sure, remote locking is really nice too, but I feel like people think the big gap is between having a remote and being stuck fiddling around with undignified keyholes - but that's not that big of a deal, you've gotta walk up to the door anyway. What's the real big deal is going from that to having to check each and every door when you walk out of your car, and if you remember you have to grab something on the rear seats go unlock the front door, open the front door, reach around to unlock the rear door, then go back out, open the rear door, grab the item, close the rear door, close the front door, lock the front door, walk away, and fuck you forgot to lock the rear door, walk back, open the rear door, lock the rear door, close the rear door. As soon as there is more than one person using your car, and even before that, central locking becomes such an immense convenience that nobody realizes because they think anything less than remote locking can be bundled together as caveman stuff.

Although perhaps the true answer is something so underappreciated that I didn't even think of it, so give me y'all's pick in the reblogs, in the replies, or if you really wanna be that shy about it (boo), in the tags!
