where's the THRILL in driving?
I was searching through some past articles trying to answer the above
question and came across someon who wrote this: "It's not the speed itself, it's the thrill of passing. Well... in that case you might want to mention the thrill of not letting anyone pass you." But what about the thrill actually buying the car itself, or pushing it to the limit around corners, or taking a date out for a ride... I'm a researcher in England and I'd really like to know about your car related thrills, anything goes. I'm currently conducting interviews with people about their personal experiences on the web-site www.chromo11.com If you've got something to say on the subject, please visit the site and take an interview. You'll find a set of short, but carefully crafted questions which you can download and answer at your leisure; you'll also be able to read more about the project. You'll be helping me create new thrill machines. Thanks Brendan email: thrill@chromo11[dot]com web: www.chromo11.com |

Being a VW owner, everything is fun.
Passing is good, acceleration. Going around corners really freaking fast. Everything you mentioned.... Ohh and toping out the car on the highway, thats good too Basically anything illegal you can do with a car is FUN, obeying the laws and driving like a respectable person, which is how I am forced to drive 99.9% of the time isn't exactly great, tho the seats are comfortable, and the radio is great. 99.5 Golf TDI.

- Tailgating police officers (ambulances aren't fun, they hardly go over
75mph) - Overtaking in turns - Use of any paved space provided - Drive with an (almost) empty gas tank - Spin out on intersections Yeah, I'm bored while driving. |

Re: where's the THRILL in driving?
I'll try to give a somewhat serious answer here.. somewhat..
I own a 1990 535i (BMW) - and most would recognize this car as one of the top 10 - up until at least a few years ago when I cared about this.. today, there may be much better cars, knocking it into the top 20?? I also own a Volvo T6 (2000), and it's pretty fast, with good acceleration - does not corner well, but it has it's place on the road. Not long ago I bought a 2000 VR6 - which my daughter drives. As I don't drive this car much, I forget how nice it is. We test drove many, and the power to weight ratio is amazing. It's a fairly light car - based on the 535 and Volvo, with instant acceleration - I mean you move the accelerator 1/8 of an inch, and you feel the response - faster or slower. You do not have to drive this car fast, and have heart pumping close calls, to appreciate the car. Point is, if you want to go from 60-90, it will do it quickly, and it handles well - and for everyday driving, the response / handling is great. sc "BW" <aerial@cwcom.net> wrote in message news:fa2affc2.0310141103.55b10c52@posting.google.c om... > I was searching through some past articles trying to answer the above > question and came across someon who wrote this: > > "It's not the speed itself, it's the thrill of passing.
