You are also arguing in bad faith, because cars are not the same as internal combustion engines. You might be able to argue correctly that tractors replaced farm animals for productive use, but tractors are not cars.

Tractors are a variety of car. I'm not arguing in bad faith I just think that's nonsense.

And boats are a variety of car if they have an ICE, right? 🤡

boats are not a variety of car, but also boats didn't replace horses? tractors are in no way meaningfully different from a car.

both four wheeled vehicles attached to an ICE. Cars.

You are making up arbitrary definitions to suit your silly argument. A boat is a form of personalized transport with an ICE engine, a steering wheel and seats, even a windshield etc. so it is clearly a "car" 🤡

A car, or an automobile, is a motor vehicle with wheels. Most definitions of cars state that they run primarily on roads, seat 1–8 people, have four wheels, and mainly transport people rather than cargo.
