As a mid-westerner, cars and driving is in my culture and DNA. For many of us, cars are our freedom machines, the only way to move on in life, the only way to get anywhere. I love to drive and I can drive almost anything. What I don't like, is having to drive to survive, having to constantly be in a hurry.
Im pretty anti car but I do like having the option that is my own. I just want my driving to be like the used car salesmans little old lady that used it briefly once a week. Im one of the few anti car that want to make it more a choice so that they can be kept parked as much as possible.
Same, I really enjoy driving in rural areas across long distances with low traffic. I hate driving in cities.
Any time I go to a city with a decent subway/metro/light rail line that is my first choice if possible. Or walk, since a lot of city downtowns are very walkable, especially compared to rural areas and spread out midwestern towns woth barely any shade trees.
