Anyone else discover they're doing a lot more (unnecessary) driving? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I had to go to Home Depot 3 times yesterday because I kept forgetting things.

Gonna be even worse now with the s/c on there...

Kwisak · 05-28-2013, 01:45 PM

Im the same way, except is almost becoming a dysfunction as its starting to affect work and personal life lol

Drive mine all the time! Got it in January & I'm just over 12,000 miles already.. I take this thing everywhere because of MPG, fun to drive & still turns heads. I work offshore and only home for 14 days & I fill up about 8-10 time while I'm home.

BRZfan · 06-15-2013, 06:05 PM

I got up one day at 5:00 AM, finished my coffee at about 50 miles out and forgot where I was going. I was told many years ago that "It's not the destination but how you get there that is the adventure".
Anyway, that's my logic. Whitewater rafting is a good example.

I've owned bunches of cars but none of them have ever had me just getting in the car to go for a drive for the simple joy of going for a drive.

I'm in the same boat. I found myself miles north of my city earlier today, just following the roads wherever they led.

I came home a while later with a bottle of mountain dew that I had stopped to grab, and the wife asked me if I had run to the corner store for it.

I said nah, I ran over to the next county. It's better over there.

I stopped by the SCCA Test n Tune this afternoon. 5+ BRZs, all in white/blue.
Then I come home and read this thread.
July 1st can't come fast enough.

5 days in this car. Teaching myself to drive MT (This is my first). I agree with the OP..... my day feels a bit empty if I don't put some time in. Never felt that way before....... Should I be worried? lol

My BRZ releases my endorphins like a runner's high. I've become addicted. Best of all, I don't have to run!

DeepHunta · 06-16-2013, 06:07 PM

driving it as much as I can. So weird too. Even the smallest errands I jump on the opportunity

The359 · 06-16-2013, 06:23 PM

Took me 45 minutes to go down the street and get gas today. I took the scenic route there and back.

Froylavin · 06-16-2013, 06:41 PM

Never used to take the long way home from work... Now I always take the long way home from work, its got a few more fun corners anyway

and I'm still using less gas

GNS · 06-16-2013, 08:56 PM

My run to the coffee shop usually takes an hour or more....4km from home.

reeves · 06-18-2013, 05:21 PM

I drive an hour (one way) to work every day... 2-3 days out of the week, I still take the long way home (15-20 extra minutes) just for to be in my car a little longer.
