You will learn to look for the twisty routes on the GPS (just about the only use I have for this Nav unit)
You will learn to love Bayview Extension more than the DVP.
You will love going up Leslie and Don Mills instead of the DVP.
You will look forward to snowy commutes.
You will learn to dodge potholes with alacrity.
You will find yourself mentally measuring the size and smoothness of industrial area parking lots and shopping mall parking lots.
You will make note of them, and remind yourself to come back when these playgrounds are deserted.
You will look forward to taking the car to a track (something I've yet to do)
You will thank yourself later.
But yes, you will continue to be immensely jealous of the people who have access to the Pacific Coast Highway, or lovely southern European roads, or twisty Japanese mountain roads.
