It's the nuts and bolts needed to make a computer do things I actually care about.

So you mean like the OS? It's literally the most important (software) aspect of the whole thing

I like where my car takes me. I have zero interest in its transmission.

You would care about (or at least pay attention to) the transmission if your car kept breaking down because of it. But unlike a car, on a computer you could relatively easy change out the OS with something else.

As always, the analogy between cars and computers are not one to one.
