I figured out my issue, and of course, being the Grammar Nazi I am, it's all in the wording:

I would be completely fine if you wrote, "To some, it's just a car."

That is so much more of a true statement than generally stating in an enthusiasts' forum, "It's just a car."

I guess what you wrote feels to me like you're trying to impose it on everyone.

Got me?

And I don't mind the opposite, either - "blatant automotive worship", as you put it, so long as the worshiper keeps it trained on him/herself. If someone's going to be a crazy religious fanatic, more power to him for finding a Reason that makes sense to him, but don't try to convert ME!

I love to see people be passionate about something, whatever it is, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. I think you and I are really taking issue with the same thing but from different sides; fanaticism that tries to force itself on others. The way you wrote what you wrote just felt like you were saying it should be that way for everyone.

I was previously a aviation mechanic and avionic technician and this car is harder to work on than Aircraft.
