I can’t play Aetherdrift. Am I alone in this?

I’m sorry. I love this game so much but I just can’t bring myself to play aetherdrift. I shrugged my way through murder mystery sets and cowboy sets (I actually mostly skipped both. Or at least played way less than I would have normally)… but I flat out refuse to say the words “Start your engines!” It’s just too much cringe to bear at this point. And it’s not like Vehicles were ever a slam-dunk mechanic at any point either.

Am I alone in this? Like is it just me? How do the rest of you feel?

Update: holy shit, opened this up after work to way more engagement than I expected. Thank you all for the input! Seems pretty split down the middle, Glad to see I might just be being pessimistic!. I don’t love the theme, but I’m gonna give it the ol college try and see how it plays. I felt similarly about MKM and Duskmourn during the spoilers, I still hated MKM but ended up loving Duskmourn. Can’t judge a book by its cover!
