If I go to open up a Pac Man and it's wet, something's badly wrong y'know, it makes me think OH NO WHAT THE HELL, it sets off the Unusually Bullshitty Bullshit detectoring parts of my brain
I go inside a car and it's all 🚙
squish squelch schlup slipslipslip mmm I love being ickystickyslippery all over, and I know consciously that this is how they're supposed to be, but that "Machines should be dry" part of my brain is... not quick on the uptake
Electricity only leaks out of the circuit if something's gone REALLY wrong, it takes far less trauma to accidentally release The Substances
Cars are just... unpleasantly wet, that's all. Always pumping and squirting the juice around, sloshing, gurgling, bleeding, dripping, they can't help it, they're just Wet Machines. It's their nature.
But boy oh boy am I not used to it

Now we really don't wanna get anything wet on or near this thing
Cars: 🚙 great tanks of juice, all different sorts, some is thick and some is thin and some cools me down and some explodes and some is super super slippery and all of it smells weird, hurry up with your cup of tea because I want so desperately to leak and spurt and trickle and squirt it all over your skin and hair and face

I'm glad I'm not a car mechanic 'cause pins and vids can be tricky to work on sometimes but at least they're usually not so... wet, y'know?
