Inspired by some posts in that teleportation topic.

I enjoy driving most of the time. There's some stuff I hate about driving (traffic, idiot drivers/pedestrians, other stuff that annoys everyone), but I still think that driving is something enjoyable, which is good considering it's something I have to do. I thought that might change after commuting to LA every day for school, but I still mostly enjoy it.

How about you?

Kinda, I don't like to drive longer than 45 minutes at a time.

But I hate being a passenger so I'll always make sure I'm driving if I'm going somewhere with friends. That might have to do with how terrible every other driver is.

I don't mind short distances, but I have to drive 45 minutes each way to school and back, and most of my friends live in that area so about the same just to hang out with them. It isn't enjoyable at all when it takes such a long time.

I like driving a lot. I always do the long distance drives when me and my gf go somewhere, the only exception is when its super hot because I don't have AC. I wanna drive cross-country one day.

Yes

This has a lot to do with what car you own tbh. When I had Nissan Micra, driving wasn't fun at all. But with my current Audi TT, I take the scenic route whenever it's possible.

I love driving the the conditions are perfect, but who loves to drive on snow and ice unless you have motorski.

I HATE driving with passengers. They always hate whatever music I listen to or talk the entire time.

I don't have any amazing car or anything, but I love being on the open road, listening to music really loud, and just being in the car. Traffic doesn't bother me so much unless I'm in a hurry.

As the driver, you can kindly tell them to suck it and deal with your music choices.

Unless you just have really bad taste and listen to weird ****.

I don't really like driving in bad traffic, or driving around idiots. But I love driving in general. If I had more money I would drive for leisure.

Don't really like being the passenger in a vehicle unless we are offroading or something

Not really, no. I mean I do because I have to but I never volunteer to drive with my friends or anything. I think it's mostly because of my eyes. They're really sensitive and driving, especially at night with glare and stuff, just really makes them hurt. It's not like, debilitating or anything but if I don't have to I don't.

I actually really like driving by myself. It's just great alone time especially with music. Whether short trips or long drives. I find that a lot of the times when I arrive where ever I am going I get disappointed that my driving time is gone.

Day driving is alright. As long as it's not around 3 - 6 o'clock.

Night driving is definitely top tier.

Being a passenger is the most boring thing ever. I don't see how anyone can like being a passenger.

Driving?

It's enjoyable... around 10% of the time. But then Indonesia has godawful traffic and pretty much kills any enjoyment I have when public transportation vehicles suddenly swerve towards me, and Bikes zig-zag everywhere.

UGH

And also, I only enjoy it because I can belt out to my song collection.

From: GaryOak151 | #010
I like driving a lot. I always do the long distance drives when me and my gf go somewhere, the only exception is when its super hot because I don't have AC. I wanna drive cross-country one day.

One of the things I want to do is to drive from Los Angeles to the East Coast (likely New York City or Florida). Doing a trip up north to Seattle or even Alaska could also be a great trip. Sadly, I don't have the time or money for that now, but I'd really like to one day.

IMO, road trips are a lot more fun than flying, at least if I'm not in that much of a hurry. If it's around 700 miles or less, it seems to be cheaper anyway especially if you're with other people.
