The best way to contemplate death T is to remember that you've already spent far more time being dead than alive, for you were just as dead before you were born as you will be after you have passed. So when we consider the future of fun on four wheels when all cars are powered by Electrolux refrigerator motors, it is perhaps reassuring to consider that while we are now entering the end of the ICE age, so too did it have a beginning. And before that there was no fun of any kind to be had on four wheels, other than those pulled by horses in your local chariot race. We didn’t miss it then because we didn’t know there was anything to miss.
A somewhat cold comfort, though, because we can’t just forget the past 130 years. So if that doesn’t work for you, allow me to explain why else we're still going to be having fun in cars not just years, but decades, from now.
