Cars and generational shift

I stand on the other side of this continuum. I'm 25 years old and I own a car. I _love_ my car; and, I often enjoy driving. I will often drive just to drive, even if this means being in relatively heavy traffic. Actually, I find that point where heavy traffic isn't a deadlock to be an especially fun time to drive because it hones my driving skills. I like feeling my car and being a part of my car as it goes down the road. When I'm alone, I like the privacy being in a car gives me as I can sing at the top of my lungs and no one has to hear me when I'm driving at free-way speeds.

I'm even looking to the future where I can buy a new car that I'll be able to use on race tracks and in rally races for my own personal enjoyment.

So, I like cars.

For the well-being of the grumpy, late, and overworked commuters sharing the same stretch of road, please consider taking an adventure driving class instead of playing Need4Speed during rush hour.

You misunderstand me. I don't swerve between traffic at high speed, but I consider experiencing all of those cars around me and being mindful of even more things at the same time than normal while driving quite a bit of an experience :)

Get to learn more about other driver's patterns on the road and all else so I can react even faster before poor situations come up, etc.

Definitely a good concern, though.
