I love driving but not long distances

For me it's the other way around so we would make a good team, that can switch places in the driver's seat depending on the situation.

One of my best friends and I actually complement each other perfectly in another way. She is great at daytime driving (when I'd rather look at the surroundings sometimes) and I'm great at nighttime driving (when she usually falls asleep, lol) so together we've been able to cover great distances on our road trips.

I hate driving to the core of my being.

I've realized that I simply love driving a car, or any vehicle for that matter. There's something so liberating and relaxing about being on the way to somewhere, and to have the freedom of choosing which roads to take, where to stop on the way etc.

My favourite type of driving is road trips with plenty of time at my disposal. Daytime driving has its charms since you can see things on the way, while nighttime driving is really cozy and surreal. I love listening to music and following endless roads that slither their way through the terrain, and to sometimes pass huge trucks. They're like big beasts of the night as they slowly but steadily push forward with a gentle humming sound.

City traffic is not fun if it's not moving forward at all or if it's really slow, but when it's flowing nicely it can be like a ballet where all the dancers know their place and move smoothly into and out of different formations.

Then there's the fun of offroad driving, the thrill of nailing the gas pedal to the floor when you've got a nice straight and nobody around, the dream-like feel of driving through long pipe-like tunnels... I love all of it.

Do you like driving, and if so - what's your favourite type of driving?

Oh, I hate public transportation. It's stressful and crowded and you have to put up with body odours and cell phones going off and screaming kids etc. I'd rather be stuck in a traffic jam any day. At least then I would have my own private space. It's just too bad it's so expensive to own a car.



I'll be waiting for you here while you do your shopping Ms Mipples.

Other than traffic... I do too.

I'm a big fan of road trips. I drove to Los Angeles this past weekend and I'm going down again this weekend. It's about 400 miles from San Jose.

It's funny my whole left side is sun burnt from driving back from L.A.

I went to get my permit packet today but couldn't because I had "the wrong type of birth certificate"

But as for liscence I don't get that for another 6 months.. March 4 to be exact
