I’ve had a car for many years. I’m a very good and responsible driver. But I sold it, now own an electric bycicle and use public transportation. It helps against traffic jams, gives me time to do other things while traveling and doesn’t get me as frustrated by the stupidity of others as fast as driving a car.
Ignite the combustion engine and control something larger than yourself
I used to control a hyper modern Navy frigate, a car is just boring. You go straight, have to wait for the next exit and constantly have to deal with morons who apparently got their drivers license with a pack of cornflakes or something.
(just seeing you live in Netherlands though, yeah not the most fun country to drive at all lol)
We have the best rated roads in the entire world, so. But traffic jams are a thing.
When I’m going on holiday I usually drive, to Portugal or Norway for example. But driving for 18h is just boring. Especially when you’re not allowed to go faster then 90km/h like on most roads in Scandinavian countries.
But like, sea to sky highway for example in a sports car. That’s one of the true joys in life. What a time to be alive
Try a sports car in Germany. No speed limit. It’s fun, for a bit. But I prefer to get my thrills from other things in life.

Sounds like you just don’t interface with vehicles very well

If you interfaced well with vehicles you wouldn’t have said “boring”
