Hot take, Exhaust is a terrible design for Aetherdrift.

Exhaust as a mechanic doesn't make any sense in Aetherdrift. I get that they tried to pick a car word, but the mechanic makes no sense in respect to vehicles. Exhaust works for when a person has used all their energy, but in the context of a vehicle exhaust is the byproduct of burning fuel which is a continuous process. It's a bit of a stretch to say exhaust has the same meaning in respect to cars. Using something like burnout or overdrive would have made more sense especially for the context of how the exhaust mechanic works.
