I think an ICE engine/ICE sports cars are genuinely fascinating in the way mechanical clocks can be fascinating. I can appreciate that for 99% of things it was good we moved to digital clocks while still appreciating mechanical clocks because digital clocks allowed us to focus on appreciating mechanical clocks in contexts that actually bring out the most human parts of them, i.e. clocks as public architecture on a tower or clocks as art or jewelry.

Same thing with "Digital" versus "Analog" systems. Analog systems are cool, they are fascinating in their mechanical aptitude, but let us appreciate them as art not as tools of daily life when we have better options.

You cannot beat the mechanical simplicity and directness of an Electric Motor. An Internal Combustion Engine is comically complex in comparison... but that also means that if we switch to mostly Electric Vehicles for all the day to day annoying stuff, then the engineering mastery and complexity of the odd ICE engine car becomes projected into the artistic light it has always been denied because of how brutally necessary ICE engine cars/trucks are to daily modern life for how destructive and unsustainable they are when used by everyone as their primary transportation.

TL;DR Boring every day EVs make ICE engine cars much cooler in a weird way, which is actually fine so long as it doesn't "boomerang" and ICE cars become a necessary performance of wealth....
