Love driving until I have to pay more attention to other cars than the road itself.

Hate driving cars. Love riding an e-bike.

In a car, I feel much more vulnerable, ironically. I’m a big chunk of metal that’s hard to miss if anything goes wrong, and that even minor mistakes will result in expensive damage.

I’ve never had a driver’s license and I never will. Expensive, polluting and boring.

Hate driving, been doing it 30 years now, sucked the whole time. There’s nothing like a thorough train/subway system.

Depends on why I’m driving. A regluar rush-hour commute isn’t enjoyable but almost all other driving is. Last year I drove from the UK to San Marino and back - with stops on the way. By the end of the trip I was happy to get home, but I still wanted to do the driving.

Depends. Commuting is dumb, I would rather have robust public transit. But night driving and blasting music while looking out over the city lights is pretty dope.

Kind of. The act of driving itself is not pleasurable from me on it’s own, but I mentally connect it with road trips which I love.
And this is the only situation in which I drive. If I had to use a car every day, I’d despise driving completely.

No. I’m good at it. I’ve got truck and motorcycle licences too. I prefer walking or bicycling, there aren’t great options for those in my suburb.

Used to like it, but it faded over time, mostly due to the car being far beyond its prime. Not that I minded driving an old car, but I could no longer assume that it’d last the entire trip without trouble.

Then a little over a week ago I bought a new (to me) car. And that’s when I noticed what I’d been missing for the past few years: I’d started to enjoy driving again.

Another factor was that once upon a time everything I owner could fit into my 1996 Volvo 940. And I took advantages of this a few times by moving across Europe. Later I became a family man, so that wasn’t the case anymore, but it was OK: The entire household could fit in the car with a lot of luggage space as well.

Around the time when the old car symptoms really started to show up more and more frequently, we got a surprise 6th family member, and traveling anywhere now involved a lot of planning and usually sticking the oldest kid on an airplane or coordinating with someone else driving the same route.

But my new car (2019 Volvo XC90) can fit everyone, so now we can just hop in the car and go. So come summer I think we’re just gonna go on a road trip down through Europe for the first time in 15 years.

No. I don’t trust myself.

Not really but public transportation usually sucks so I’m doing most things by car nowadays. I’m probably getting old but the idea of driving at lethal speeds through crowded spaces actually terrifies me. I’ve never been in any serious accident but to think that I’m sitting in some death machine is unnerving.

I love it; it gives me some nice peace and quiet and I love the wind in my hair

I have to drive quite a bit for work and absolutely hate it, its time consuming (/waste of time), tiring, bad for the environment. The only reason I like driving is that its currently faster and cheaper than public transport.

I just wish public transport was a lot better, currently it’d take me 50 minutes to get to the closest major city close to me while its 25 minutes with car.

In terms of going home, its a 2 hour 30 drive. With public transport it’d be 50 minute bus + 2 hour train + 30 minute bus resulting in a longer commute but also the car costs about 40-60 euros in gas (which I don’t have to pay cause company car) and public transport would be 80 euros train + 5 euros bus

(Prices are approximate, gas prices and public transport prices keep going up)

Love. Its just commuting to work along with other drivers who don’t know the rules of the road that make the experience unpleasant.

But a Boss 302 can make even commuting fun. 😉

Hate driving when there are other cars. So I hate driving. I didn’t mind driving when I was on the I80, cause it was big and wide and more empty but fuck getting to the I80 from here. NJ has bad drivers and I’m one of them. Gimme better transit, NJ!!!
