Yes.

I miss having a car. It's nice not having the expenses/hassles, but I miss driving, especially roadtrips.

When you drive 6+ hours each way, several times a month for work, you tend to start to dread them after a few short months.

So no. I don't particually like to drive long distances.

By myself? Yeah.
Not so fun with women and children. Once I have a proper vehicle though, it should be good.

only for roadtrips, not daily commuting to work. i would totally hate driving 1+ hours each way in fvcked up traffic every day.

I love my mustang, so yeah, in that car, I enjoy the long stretches...sometimes I'll go with the top down.

but in just about any other car, not so much.

I did that...probably more.
200 miles to the national park and back, so that's 400 miles
right after that, we drove back from maine to nyc, that's about 600 miles. we put another 200 miles to and back from allentown.
I just like driving. :D

Driving long distances doesn't bother me. I used to drive from Rochester, NY to Albany once or twice a month when I lived in NY. That's about a 200 mile drive and I would frequently do it in a little under 3.5 hours non-stop. Of course that was over 14 years ago.

As long as I'm not stuck in traffic and I can make good time it doesn't bother me.

Edit-I also drove from Albany, NY to Grand Rapids, MI in one day. I think that was around 800 miles IIRC.

I don't mind and even like it when its my choice, or for pleasure, but when its because of something/somewhere I don't want to do/go then not really.

I really dont like driving long distance but if I have to go on a long road trip I would rather drive than be a passenger.

Alright that is more impressive than I first thought. I drove from before the sun came up to a while after it had set (Yosemite to Tacoma), and according to mapquest that was only 902 miles. I like driving long distances but that drive was just insane.. I was singing along loudly to Bob Dylan's Mr. Bojangles by the end.
