There's still a two-dimension aspect to it compared to parachuting. Being on a bike is that 360-degree 4D experience, whereas even in the fastest, most exhilarating sports car, it still is not the same way that it's exciting on a bike. So for me, personality plays a big role, and I'm sure people would think it's ridiculous hearing that a car has personality, but they do.
Again, if you're into it and you know and have done it enough to know the nuance between... What's what you can absolutely tell between the way a suspension is on one car versus the other throttle response, turbo lag, even tires make a huge difference. Like if you have, you know, more kind of all season type, better traction in shitty conditions, tires versus tires.

street legal almost road slicks um there's a huge difference in how the car behaves it seems like a never-ending rabbit hole it is people who go down that path yeah i mean it's probably the same with wingsuits for sure it's the same as uh people who nerd out on electronics or you know another guns guns i was gonna say anything yeah like for me i'm not into guns that much where you know if you put if you blindfolded me which wouldn't be a smart idea when you're handling guns but uh

If you lined up a SIG, a fucking staccato, a Glock, whatever, am I going to be able to tell the difference? Probably not. Maybe. But yes, do I like a little bit lighter trigger? Do I like a little stifling on the grip? Yes. But am I going to know stock performance? to modified, sure. But I'm just not that into it. To me, it's like, I like that gun. I don't need to have nine other ones.

So I'm just not into it that same way, where for whatever reason, cars and bikes are that way. And it's interesting, because I was never that kid growing up. Like, I was never the guy that had the Lambo Countach on the wall. You know, I didn't give a shit about, you know, what Crockett and Tubbs were driving in Miami Vice. Like, it was cool, but I didn't care.

You know, and it wasn't until I was in my late 30s, early 40s to where it just kind of all of a sudden, for whatever reason, clicked.
