For full features; Go to Does Anybody Here Go For Drives?
Not like to the store or anything, but just to drive. Not to anywhere. Just
for fun? Did anybody go before (when gas was half this price or lower)?
I always look for excuses to go out but it's always for something, and I
have to go somewhere specific.

I used to, and was planning on going yesterday but got stuck at work. Gas
prices doubling since I got my car have had a little influence, but a nice
long drive is still cheaper than most other things that would have taken
its place.
There is some really nice country north of me, freshly paved roads, lots of
straightaways, lots of curves, speed limits high enough that you don't need
to speed much to have fun, gorgeous scenery, and no traffic if you go at
the right time. Perfect for unwinding after a long day. Usually it's
about a 2hr drive.

In the past when I had a bad day I would just get in my car and get on the
highway and drive for an hour or two. There is nothing like wide open
highway late at night. Almost got lost a few times, but always made it home
alive. It was a quick way to burn through a tank of gas, but I would get
some good fuel economy numbers.
Lately due to the price of gas I drive as little as possible. Instead I
take my bike out. Spent a couple hours out tonight, of course I don't go
nearly as far, but it is a much better fealing. It would be nice if more
roads had shoulders, but it is a great fealing to be out at night gliding
silently through smaller towns. Gives you a totaly different perspective.
Then to come home tired, and just back and relax.
Dang, I wanna go back out just thinking about it, but I got work to do
tomorrow.:ohcrap:

I did when I first got my licence, then I cut back..now that I have this
little roadster, the occasional "drive" is very fun. Unfortunately the gas
I use csts 4.35 here and I get like 21mpg

I used to do a lot of cruising, back roads and all. I just don't have the
time for it anymore.

I used to go out driving no where in particular when I first started
driving. Now I see driving as more of a nessesity than a hoby...Not that I
don't like driving anymore, I just tend to save petrol these days, lol.

Yeah, in U.S. dollars, you guys pay over $10 a gallon. I feel really bad
for you guys lol.

LOL, a really HOT Nissan Sentra GXE. Hey, it is only a 12 gallon tank, so I
don't pay too much to fill up and I get around 28 MPG city. It's just not
as fun to drive.

Sounds like the same reasons I bought my Kia Rondo. I am debating about
splurging and putting a custom UT license tag on it (not the National
champs one but the other UT tag)
