I was chatting to an old friend the other day about how driving is rarely fun nowadays.

We're both about the same age (ie old) and when we both first started driving there were around 14 million cars on the roads of the UK.

Nowadays the figure is around 39 million :O

I miss just going for a drive for the fun of it, I used to do it all the time but it just seems pointless these days as I inevitably encounter slow traffic. I live in quite a rural area too and obviously it's a lot worse in towns and cities.

Does anyone else still go for a drive just for fun?

For me, an early 2000’s Toyota Corolla. Ol’ reliable for me. Still going, and not many major issues…current ones are easy to fix.

Sometimes, depends how bored I am.

Being in a suburban environment, its easier to do…unlike in the big city. And there’s stuff to see, compared to a pure rural/country environment.

I think I might have to look for another car next year.
I love mine but it's proving to be very, very unreliable.
I've now reached the stage where it's costing more to repair than the car is worth >.<

I don't know what I'll replace it with, it's a tough act to follow, despite its flaws.

Not often, but that's mainly because I already drive 100 kilometres every day so I feel like I spend enough time on the road. Slow moving traffic isn't that much of a problem here outside of the most busy times when people are going to/from work.

I definitely drive more than I need to and enjoy any excuse for me to get in the car, especially for more scenic routes.

I often to road trips and stay at various AirB&Bs with groups of friends and always opt to be the driver :P I hate being a passenger! :P

Always trying to plan my next road trip. Might take a drive to Chicago again this month sometime.

[Maybe what I'd like to be driving]
Got to see the Cybertruck in person today. I'll be honest, it's a bold and 'out there' look which makes it an either love or hate kinda thing lol

I think after seeing it in person I like it a little more :P I think I want one haha, maybe my next upgrade in a few years!
