Urge To Drive

Every time i m on this forum and i look at other peoples cars and read the threads. I get even more of an urge to go out and drive my car. Even though i drive it basically everyday! So I was wondering if anyone else feels the same way?

I drive my truck 5 days a week for work, and my TL 2-3 times a week. So yeah AZ always gets me excited about taking it for a drive.
Even just to wash/detail it.......

yea i got a resonated one.. its actually pretty quite during cruises.. but when you take off from a stop, you can hear a good amount of it.. but surprisingly very minimal cabin noise.

i was watching an episode of the british version of Top Gear last night, and they took a Bugatti Vernon to 253mph. safe to say i had the urge to go driving right after watching that.

I never DREAMED I would complain about living 2 miles from work, but at least if you live further out you don't have the guilt -- because you MUST go to work... I get the urge at night and take a lap around the whole outer belt circling the city, blasting Septic Flesh all the while, don't stop anywhere, and land back at home all to the tune of like $5-6 in gas. Last year my MONTHLY gas budget in the Corolla was 1 tank, like $35-40! Lucky if that lasts me 4-5 days in the TL.

Yup, I find myself "air" shifting my 6MT and practicing voice commands to myself. Spooky.

I only love my TL when I travel to Ohio to see my lady. I cant really enjoy it that well driving around town. Thats for my Miata! You talk about excitement? Thats real joy. You can zip anywhere,anytime. Cant do that in big TL.

I know the feeling.
You want to drive, but then you think about the gas. But it's always worth it.
