Not to be a buzz kill, but I lost an uncle a few years ago who was in a terrible car crash because someone else was reckless. There are a million other non-selfish ways to get an adrenaline rush.

I ****ing hate driving because people are idiots.

"Hey, it's a 50 MPH zone. Therefore, I must go 40!"

Happens way too often.

Re: Do you like to drive?

Ever since I got my licence I've despised being a passenger because I can't control the driver... especially since most people I've been in a vehicle with are scary.

I'm a control freak.

Words can't describe how amazing it feels to cut those people off in traffic though

Re: Do you like to drive?

Whenever possible and appropriate I take the passenger seat. It's just less work, ya know? I like just chillin with some tunes and looking out the window.

Re: Do you like to drive?

I've never even applied for a learner's permit and see no point. For me (and most people that don't even realize it,) a car is a giant waste, especially in urban areas. Here are my favorite reasons to cycle (and promote cycling.)

Correlation with Overall Wealth.
Less Public Money Is Needed To Create a High Quality Transportation System.
Improved Personal Finances
Better Physical Health
Better Mental and Emotional Health
Fewer Overweight and Obese Citizens
More Free Time
Greater Mobility
Inclusion of Senior Citizens (and the youth, as well.)
More Equitable Living for Low Income Earners (read: students)
Increased Sense of Community
Individual Opportunities for Safer Travel
Less Congested Roads
Safer, Quieter Neighborhoods
More Resources for Public Use (because less money goes into giant highway expansions and the like)
Better Air Quality
Visually More Appealing Metropolitan Area
Cleaner Surface and Ground Water
Quieter City
Slowed Pace of Global Warming
More Sustainable Lifestyle
Readiness for Other Environmental Initiatives

Here's the longer list that I ripped these off of, it has articles that follow up on each reason, and it has more reasons than I have listed.

Re: Do you like to drive?

I don't own my own car, but to me, I only like to drive if I like the car.

Cars I've driven (in order chronologically):

'01 Huyndai Sonata - Used to be my mom's car, this is the car I learned to drive in. Pretty average ride.
'98 Land Rover Discovery - Was difficult to get used to, but now I love driving this car
'91 Mercury Capri XR2 - rageface.jpg I hate this car. Steering is ****ed and I feel like I'm literally dragging on the ground.
'99 Jeep Grand Cherokee - This one had transmission problems so maybe it shouldn't count, but it was ... er, interesting.
'03 Range Rover HSE - This felt like a sports car merged with an M1 Abrams tank. Needless to say, driving this car was amazing. So sad that we had to sell it
'89 VW Jetta - The car I learned to drive a stick in, and then forgot 3 months later.
'03 Toyota Camry - My mom's "new" car, which I've only driven three or four times. Better than the Hyundai, but still not perfect.

Overall, I like driving.

Re: Do you like to drive?

Oh, and my car is a crappy '93 Nissan Altima with 155k miles on it. The speedometer likes to stop working, in which case I need to pound on the dash to make it work. Also, whenever I turn right it sounds like the axel's going to fall off. All of this has been looked over by a mechanic who claims he cannot find anything wrong.

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.

Re: Do you like to drive?

Eh, I don't know. I've been driving for two years...but. :l It's kinda tiring. There's nowhere for me to really go. I don't have my own money so I can't really buy much...maybe it'll be different once I have my own money. I know, I'm pathetic.
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.
