After you drive 12,000 miles a month for a few years ,the thrill wears off. I
get back into it after the first couple of hundred miles but getting up the
enthusiasm to start off is difficult.

When I was younger, I used to like "driving". Not "sightseeing"
but driving. E.g., climb in the car on one coast, climb out on
the next coast -- with nothing but stops for gas along the way.
(e.g., the colorado-boston trips were 40 hours, start to finish)

Now, I don't have the patience to deal with all the other bozos
on the roads, the uncertainties of traffic, construction, etc.
