Few Things in Life Are More Fun Than Driving! - 11/20/2007 6:15:55 PM    Phantom Gett Posts: 63 Joined: 11/10/2007 From: NY Status: offline Somethings are just too amazing to describe. Driving is one of these things. Maybe it's because I'm so green that I enjoy it so much, but someone has to agree with me. When you love you car, it doesn't matter if you're driving a ferrari or a geo (Well, maybe a Geo's an exageration), you have fun driving. Tonight was a night for driving, the roads were just a little slick, and the night came early. I just drove for about 2 hours. Main roads, back roads. It was just a lot of fun, but with gas prices on the incline it's harder to just enjoy it. Anyone agree? Anyway, the basic point is just the pure fun of driving and the crazily increasing gas prices _____________________________ My Ride: 1995 Honda Accord EX Sedan (Unmodded) 2.2L(2156cc), F22B1, MPFI, SOHC 16-valve Automatic Transmission Garmin c340 GPS Post #: 1

Sometimes when I am out late at night such as midnight or 1 am, instead of going home ill drive for about a half hour to an hour away, then come back and go home.  I love it.  When I get mad, or sad, or w/e I go and drive.  It puts me in a good mood, and its simply fun.  You are in your own world and can go as you please and think things out.  If gas prices were cheaper I would be taking mini road trips all the time to wherever!  I think, that when you begin to customize your car it makes you enjoy it even more even when no one else is around. _____________________________ Scopin out my old turf......

When I get stressed about girlfriend, school, work, family, etc., I will go take a ride and clear my head. Just let the windows down, turn on that favorite song, and be free. There's nothing like it. _____________________________ 1999 Honda Accord "EX"(SOLD) 1996 Nissan 240sx "SE" (in reply to 19Accord97) Post #: 3

The point of KNOWING that you love your car, and you love driving it, is when you DO enjoy it when no one is around. I know my car isn't up there like some of ya'lls, but I definitely have taken the pride of at least doing all the work myself, and am enjoying the benefits of the mods. It's the long drives like you guys are talking about that make it all worth it, the point of reflection where you can actualize moments from your memory about the progress. When you crank her up after you just got done cleaning up your workspace, and listening to the difference you just made; Or when you tighten your shocks and find some windy roads - It's about the adrenaline and satisfaction.

But you're exactly right, those long drives where nothing else seems to matter, not school, not your signifigant other, nothing else matters but the moment. That moment seems to stretch on forever, until it's over and it seems no more than an instant _____________________________ My Ride: 1995 Honda Accord EX Sedan (Unmodded) 2.2L(2156cc), F22B1, MPFI, SOHC 16-valve Automatic Transmission Garmin c340 GPS (in reply to doanutboi) Post #: 6

I loved spending time in my car. BTW she got 550miles to the tank with the cruze control on 75. It did quite a bit of snowing in ohio and she just pulled right through it, no wheel slip no skidding. I love her and its just great to take a ride, weather its to work or to philly, or destinations further. _____________________________ 04 EX 4cyl 5AT Coupe Fujita CAI Custom Heads & TYC Tails Apexi WS2 Cat Back Exhaust Front Grill Interior LED rods(7color) 20% Tint TSX Intake Manifold DC Ceramic Header Ralco Light Weight Pullies(In Hand) TL-s Front Sway Bar (in reply to 00AccordLX5spd) Post #: 9

Stock suspension, and automatic transmission... You know, it's funny, when you drive, even work is fun, I had to make 3 trips to price chopper today, and even though I probably sound like a tool here, there was this one Integra that came up and met m at a stop light, I pretty much floored it, and blew him away, I knew he wasn't trying, when I finially turned, I heard his engine rev, sounded like he had about a grand on just his engine. (Intake and Exaust at the least) He gave me the "you are a tool look".  I deserved it, but oh well. It was fun. _____________________________ My Ride: 1995 Honda Accord EX Sedan (Unmodded) 2.2L(2156cc), F22B1, MPFI, SOHC 16-valve Automatic Transmission Garmin c340 GPS (in reply to thunder_x) Post #: 15
