Yahoo Autos What’s The Most Oddly Satisfying Thing About Your Car?
No car is actually perfect, and even if it is perfect for one person, it might be a different person’s worst nightmare on four wheels. I would argue, though, that every car has at least one or two redeeming qualities, it’s just some are harder to deduce than others. I want to know what is the one thing in your car that is just inexplicably perfect, or as some would say, oddly satisfying?
I’ve gotta say the most oddly satisfying thing about my 2017 Mini Cooper S is the way I fit inside it. I’m 6-foot-8-inches tall with a 40-inch inseam, so I’m pretty far from the archetype that most cars are designed around, and yet I fit perfectly inside my car. The steering wheel has enough telescopic range and the seat goes far enough back to allow me to stretch my legs out straight in the driver’s seat while still comfortably holding the steering wheel. Everything falls perfectly to hand, from the gear selector to the drive mode selector to the infotainment controller to the climate controls. I can accomplish almost any normal task while keeping my eyes on the road and without reaching or straining. It’s truly kismet.
What about your car feels oddly satisfying?Is the window at the perfect height for you to comfortably rest your elbow on? Does the cupholder perfectly secure your emotional support water bottle? Does your bike fit just right behind the back seats, or maybe your car is just short enough that it doesn’t scrape on the exposed pipes in your building’s parking garage? Whatever the oddly satisfying coincidence, sound off in the comments and let us know the things that if you tagged them as #OddlySatisfying on TikTok they’d go viral.
