excuses to drive car?
Do you like to drive your car so much that you make up excuses to go out? I went to the store just to get some gravy and a snapple.

Rep Power: 424 I just go for drives to no where. I don't look for a place to go. Just 1/2 an hour drive in a circle. Am I mental? Maybe. Do I care? No.
Its just what I do to clear my head.

Rep Power: 0 Sometimes late at night ill drive out to an empty mountain road about 15 mins from my house and just tear it up for the fun of it. At like 2 in the morning, nobody is on it, and I can use the entire road for turning. So much fun...
sometimes i go out for a drive weather its day or nite and just drive till i get rid of my stress or whatever it is that is bothering me weather its to driving it hard or just driving until i get it all out until its out of my system

Rep Power: 0 I actually dont like taking my car out unless I have to. The roads in Boston suck and the drivers are just as bad. There arent really any roads here that I can just take my car out and go.

Rep Power: 812 That sucks. I'm always afraid of other drivers and roads in town are bad as well. There are lots of places here in farm country where you can just drive and relax. 
Ill say im going over to a friends house, then Ill go tear it up on some back road or something. I also take the longer way to and from work everyday because its a more enjoyable drive, and one time I found myself driving to a town MANY miles from where I live, just because I felt the need to relax, and inside my car is a great place to do it.
If I had my car right now, I would be driving around the area and getting to know my new hometown of Santa Barbara. Unfortunately car is still in the shop. Shrug...but the second I get that thing back, I think I will need to go out on a long drive....ROAD TRIP!!!! Say that I am going out for something random like a soda then drive 200 miles to some gas station buy a can and come back.

Rep Power: 0 You guys are lucky. I no longer know the meaning of "cruising for the sake of cruising". Whenever I feel like taking the car for a spin...I go down about 2 blocks and already notice that i've used up 1/2 a tank of gas 
haha needless to say i know all of montgomery county in maryland, most of northern VA and alot of DC. ive got 21K miles and barely even a year of driving. thats alot seeing how the average is like 12k a year or soemthing

Rep Power: 382 i drive way too much, although i've managed to put on less than 5000km's in the past 3 months, which is really good for me. i really hate it when i'm leaving the house and someone asks me where i'm going, if i wanted them to know i would've told them. I usually just say i'll be home in a bit.

Rep Power: 0 I drive to clear my head, vent frustration and enjoy my sound system.
I put over 60,000 a year on my cars and 13k on the motor cycle. I love driving. (62500 on my 02 cvic before the roll over and only had it 13 months.)
Most of my driving is back and forth to work, and my road trips to orlando. ( my bro lives down there)
I average 4200 a month. Oil changes every 7 weeks.
I feel for ya kiwi133. Breaking in my new 04 civic. 3000 on it already in 3 weeks. Almost done.
