Reposted by AaronDon Incognito @shuadc.bsky.social · 30/06/2026I see that—but there’s also a social urge to denigrate “fashion” partly because it’s seen as primarily a woman’s pursuit, and (esp as car enthusiasts) we need to push back on that. Cars *are* fashion accessories. We tell stories to other ppl about ourselves with our cars… 161
