Do you like to drive?

Possibly if I had a better car I'd enjoy driving more. But still, people are stupid which will still piss me off.

Severely off topic, but I'm going to be a FFR Veteran soon!

Dont worry about that sound my car does that to its just old and really does nothing to the car itself but scares the crap out of anybody riding along for the first time.

Driving to school and back ain't bad. It doesn't excite me like it used to at the beginning.
Now it just seems like a chore. :l The only part I like is listening to music.
Oh well.

I vote this saddest post of the decade. I even feel a little sadder after reading it.

I will never let someone drive me anywhere, I am paranoid when being a passenger, if I have to, I'll take my own car and drive.

I ****ing love driving, I've put on over 35,000 km's in 10 months since I got my G2. I drive about 500-1000kms a week. I plan on buying an S2000 and then getting an EK9 civic with a K20 swap for my winter car.

I drive a 2000 Explorer. I like driving because I feel less paranoid than I do as a passenger. Plus there's no bickering about where I sit when I drive. I used to despise large vehicles but so far I like driving SUVs and trucks more than cars, although they can be a pain to maneuver at times.

I love driving by myself. I end up just voicing my thoughts out loud and it's very therapeutic at times.

Also, I blast my music and sing as loud and as passionately as I want to and nobody has to hear how badly I sing

I get speeding tickets when I do that :/

I own a 5 speed v6 mitsubishi galant with 188K miles on it :3 I love driving. Seeing this wasn't my first car I have well over 250K miles under my belt I learned to drive on a 4 speed 350 IROC Z28 Camaro my Father built. That was an experience in itself. I have been fully liscensed and driving since I was 16... 10 years -_-

Not in urban areas, but yes I do and need to get a driving license.

[dragonmegaXX]

Honestly Im scared to drive :< Im 17 and have had my permit for over a year, but the thought of driving freaks me out lol. I forget theres other people in the other cars, and they can react to me. i assume theyre robots and will ram me at the slightest mistake or something. That and I also dont trust my skills and i dont want to cause a pile up :P

[welsh_girl]

Hate it. I prefer to be driven around.

[Sprite-]

I liked driving for the first 2 years. Then it was just a burden. I admit, though, it's nice to be able to have the freedom to go wherever you want...just gets expensive/tiring.

[hazard28]

I have been driving for a while now. Sometimes it's nice on peaceful week days when the kids are in school but most of the time I just hate it. I love being able to be the passenger since I have to drive people around all the time and it gets to be a hassle. Another thing is inner city traffic...HEY~! Let's stop on a green light....GRRR

[darkshark]

I've probably owned more cars in my lifetime than everyone in this thread combined haha.

I'm up somewhere around 20 cars now.

Even though I love the machines, I hate driving. HATE. I was a delivery driver for 3 years, 8 hours a day in a car 6 days a week sucked, now I have a 2 hour (each way) commute to and from work. I currently own 4 cars and a motorcycle, and the only enjoyment I get is from the motorcycle, cars are a god damn chore and I hate stepping foot in them now. It literally puts me in a bad mood.

[eurostud4]

that's a very successful 12 year old :P

Eh, I don't mind driving, but I'd generally much rather be the passenger. Give me the opportunity to lie back and sleep over having to focus on what I'm doing any day. Though I do appreciate getting to listen to my own music at a pretty high volume--driving is the only time I ever get to do that.

Though now that I think about it, that only applies when I'm here at home rather than at college like I usually am. I go to school in Pittsburgh, where the public transit is free for me and not much of a hassle, so it's far more convenient than city driving. Of course, just -having- a car there would be nice for when I have to leave the city, though I really wouldn't use it more than a few times a year.

[freekilltwo]

for me driving is fun from time to time, but generally speaking i hate it, its too impersonal, i prefer a motorcycle, in a car it kind of becomes like tv and you get disconnected from the world, the road doesnt seem as real, on a motorcycle you realize that that pavement thats inches beneath your feet is real, that the wind exists and all the other great stuff, its alot more personal than being in a rolling cage

[dore]

I prefer driving to being a passenger every time. I'm not a control freak under most circumstances, but when I have to watch someone react to things differently than I do, it bothers me. And I can't force myself to not pay attention.
