Preach it brother! Screw that scenic stuff...

Hell, I can remember when I bought my first car, a 68 Thunderbird. For
a number of months, I'd routinely put about a 1000 miles a week on it,
just for the sheer pleasure of driving it.

Scenery didn't matter much since much of that driving was in the dead
of night. Just driving itself can be nice enough.


The driving hasn't changed much, but, at $40-$50, the fill-ups are more
of a nuisance. The notion of $20,000 cars doesn't do much for me either.
Of course, the Internet and Google Earth is nice. Ya win some, ya lose
some.
