Ever Just Drive?

Post by Subaru_Nation555 »

Do you ever just go for a drive or take the long way home. Driving my Legacy kinda helps me relax and think. Anyone else?

I go out and drive just to drive all the time. I can honestly say that last year I put a good 13k miles doing just that. I don't think there is anything more addictive than driving. It's satisfying in so many ways and few things can relax me as quickly as driving does.

yeah I do, but mostly when theres snow on the ground. I like to go either early in the morning or late at night to avoid other cars, concerned citizens, and cops. gotta love a little sideways action now and then.
In the summer I usually go play at my favorite gravel parking lot or this huge vacant lot with some dirt roads going through it.

I go out for random drives a lot. It's really relaxing to be in my car, free to go wherever.

Most of my driving is to think, relax, resolve story issues with my writing. I work five blocks from where I live, so I could get away without having a car at all.

I used to, until something broke :( Now I wallow, working every now and again to finish the engine swap. The SVX is no fun to drive at the moment either.

I did that all the time (almost at least once a day) before my car broke. I'd do "laps" on some crazy back roads near my house.

I also really like to go out driving late at night in the snow.

I drive all the time in the SS. The best experience ever was on my bike crusing at 100MPH as the sun set in Northern Colorado.

I drive to Montoursville, PA from my house in Winfield every monday. The trip is like 35-40 miles easy. It's nice to sit and think about life with the cruise set, it's even nicer on my way home with the sun setting. I wish I could 'just drive' but gas and my parents are prohibitive. Although, I have 3 more days left in break so I might 'just drive' to Philly or something, that'd be sweet.

I go for drives to think through my writing ideas or to just get out of the house.

nah I'm Sam, I just read in the gallery that you took pictures of Matt's car, and since Matt lives in Williamsport.... that and I posted a 'spotted' style thread a while back and you refered to a cool cat in a black SS around here, and you happen to have one... I am excellent at deductive reasoning

Ah, I see. Pretty sharp there, Sam although it was Matt that took pictures of my car but that's a minor detail. I don't own a camera yet unless you mean a while back but I stll think it was Matt's older camera. Anyway, that doesn't matter. It (my black SS) looks super sharp these days with the new paint job and all.
