Citroen DS has hydraulic suspension on the back wheels. It’s like you’re in clouds…
That’s obviously ridiculous (unlike my perfectly reasonable BRDM-2), but I love it!

Very easy to park.

I kinda hate cars. Need one for my job and everyday stuff, but the costs are pissing me off. I wish I could open my own gym nearby and just cycle the distance.

I like cars but hate traffic, I walk almost everywhere or if its a long way catch the train.

Yeah, I wish that were a realistic option in the US. I live in a city that’s considered to have one of the better public transportation systems in this country (definitely not best, but better than average). To drive to work, 25 minutes. To take light rail (which I live RIGHT BESIDE the stop) and then transfer to a bus, will take over an hour, and still have a 15 minute walk…

To answer OP’s question, yeah I like cars in general. Mostly as living works of art. Not something that should just sit there and be stared at like a painting (though I do enjoy looking at 'em), but something that should be driven, as that is its intended purpose.
I hate the fact that I’m practically forced to own one here in the US, as the public transit infrastructure near me isn’t worth a damn. It takes me 20 minutes to drive to work, but the way public transit routes are set up, it’d take me over 3 hours to get there via bus/train.
That said I do enjoy my car, though it’s nothing special. It’s a 2018 Honda Civic hatchback that I’ve tightened up ever so slightly with a strut tower brace, rear sway bar, and front/middle subframe braces.
I’m a truck guy, I want them to see my license plate in their rear view mirror before I hit them.
NA Miata as Debian is fitting. Love to see it.
Also, to OP, yes, cars are great. The engineering and physics that go into them is great, the history is great, and fiddling with them is great. Some of the best moments in life come from fixing something and making it work like it’s supposed to.
However, I think bikes are even cooler. Designed to be worked on, simpler, smaller, lighter, and, in the case of sport bikes, a lot more nimble. Plus, lots of options for customization, too. Reminds me of Linux in that you have to be careful, but you get a really rewarding experience if you’re willing to take things seriously.
