I love driving, even when there's traffic. I have XM radio and this is really my only/easiest way of discovering new music so I see longer rides as a benefit. Get to just relax, listen to good tunes, and get some thoughts straight. However, I can see driving as being an inconvenience to many due to things such as ticketing/insurance, parking issues, traffic for those that don't allot themselves enough time to commute, car maintenance, and the fact that our infrastructure is crumbling and nobody really enjoys diving into a pothole at 30+ mph. I know I'm associating owning a car with the enjoyment of driving a car, but I do believe they go hand in hand for many.
