Actually I'm 28. I left cars for bikes because instead of putting 10k+ into a car and having it do 12s in the 1/4 mile, I can just buy a brand new streetbike for ~10k and beat all but the top .05% of cars on the road. I mean, 350lbs + 150hp+ 6speed+ slipper clutch + race tires = huge grins. Like orgasm on the road sized grins for pennies on the dollar when comparing cars to bikes.
To give you my history grew up in a family that owned many car lots, junkyards, and a half mile dirt oval racetrack/motoX track behind my house. I started racing cars and dirt bikes for fun when I was 12... So yeah, you could say that I slaved for years as a car guy I guess... I bought my first car at 13 and it I totaled it the same week taking it off a bike jump. I have no idea how many cars I've bought then beaten until they blew up/rolled/caught on fire/crashed and let me tell you, it is a shitload of fun! Your automotive mindset and mine are clearly pretty far apart, but I can't blame you for hating car douches, as I do too. All I can say is that if you had a chance to try it, I'm pretty sure you'd love it. That is all.
