Sometimes, you just have to go for a drive.

Allow me to preface this post by saying that while driving can be extremely liberating at times, it is also one of the most goddamned stressful activities a human being can undertake in this day and age. Traffic congestion, the unpredictable behaviors and dangerous habits of other drivers, the constant flux of fuel prices, the increasing scrutiny of automobiles' effects on the environment, and other relevant worries all conspire to make vehicle ownership an exercise in frustration and high blood pressure. It's a wonder why your average, sane person would even bother owning one if their public transit system would fulfill their needs.
