Depends on the nature of the drive.
I don't like driving for long periods of time on a freeway, especially in the middle of nowhere. It's boring as hell. I especially hate it when my leg cramps up or when I get the feeling that I have to pee. I also dislike pumping gas or even the thought of having to stop at a gas station. Don't know why though. But I love fueling up in Oregon, because they do it for me. And the attendants are usually quite friendly and helpful (at least the ones I've ran into).
But I seriously enjoy the physical feeling of the car as it revs to my command. I like the control.
Just recently I learned how to drive stick and I sort of fell in love with it. Now I wish my car had a stick... I'm also fond of feeling the pull of inertia when driving on curvy roads. When I'm feeling
adventerous I like to pass cars on two lane highways. But I've almost gotten myself killed for doing so. One time I tried to pass a truck going up a steep hill, but once I got in the opposite lane this huge bus comes over the hill coming straight for me. My car was having more difficulty with the hill then I thought it would so I'm bascially side-by-side with the truck making little progress ahead of it now with gravity escorting this bus towards my inevitable doom. Then the bus driver starts to freak and edge itself as close as it can onto the shoulder while I floor it to 95mph. Well, as one might imagine, I survived... by about one car length. :rolli: And the experience was all the more humourous since there was a passing lane about a mile later.
However, on most days I'm not nearly as adventerous. Normally I'm quite a tame driver.
Heehee I feel the same way about that too. My hubby uses the cruise control all the time on the highway and I never do. I like to feel that the car is under MY control, not some arbitrary device controlling the speed for me LOL!
Yeah but cruise control is your best friend when you have to drive for 12 hours almost nonstop on the same damn freeway at the same damn speed.
