So much truth in all of the above. Driving used to be about enjoyment, now it’s basically a drudgery. Too many incompetent people, too much traffic, too many rules, too much BS... it’s become all about money - who’s liable for what and how to keep people paying and paying and paying for the “privilege” of sitting in that traffic, being tracked 24/7 with cameras everywhere and all the rest of it. Gas prices, insurance, car prices, e-tolling springing up everywhere, absurd computerized everything that makes simple repairs cost hundreds of dollars, etc.

There are still a few places where you can go to feel free and like it’s actually still enjoyable but who has time to go?

I drive very little now and don’t really miss it. I do miss the memories of when it used to be fun many years ago. I think those days are gone though. I doubt many kids now have many “just for fun” memories of driving - it’s all “have to get there” stuff.
