Why driving isn't fun anymore
From the Dec. 2017 CAR & DRIVER, their 750th issue, a bit they ran on the Interstate System:
"The number of vehicles in the U.S. has increased from 65 million in 1956 to more than 260 million in 2015."
It's no wonder this crusty old bastid remembers driving as being fun from the early 60's to the mid 70's, but after that not so much.
Oh, the lure of the open road is still there. It's finding an open road that isn't so easy...
