I frequent a few car sites, this being one of them obviously, and most of the people think they know about cars b/c they read car magazines. In fact most of them don't even drive, they're all like 13. I do not have that much driving experience (about a year) and I'm learning bit by bit what the test drivers have been saying. So the question is do you drive on a daily, or near daily basis?

go to the what you drive ride section and check the car registry, I think you'll get your answer pretty quick as to how many of us drive.

I drive everyday, I have to just to get around in the city busses suck and light rail is a piece of crap. If I didnt drive everyday I'd probably go insane pretty quick.

Drove almost everday after I got my license at 17. Back then I drive almost whenever I had the chance (ie. go out get milk...get mail....get laid...) Now due to the high oil prices, age, traffic everywhere, I drive only when necessary.

I also drive pretty much everyday, and have done for the last 4yrs or so.
If I go into the city I usually take the ferry since its cheaper and less of a hassle, but for anything else I go by car. :D

To be honest i don't drive every day when i'm at uni as i try to walk everywhere i can, also like this morning i'm not always in a fit state to drive and am not stupid enough to do so :wink: I've been driving since march 03, but i don't really feel i have to learn from "what test drivers say" to be honest i'd just rather enjoy driving :D

I drive everyday whenever possible, and love nothing more than pushing my car on a deserted national speed limit road :twisted: You do also have a valid point about our comments being based upon magazine reviews; as most of us do not have the means to test exotic cars we dream about, I think the most logical way way to form an opinion is to read the reviews from professionals who test drive them :D

I try to walk whenever possible, but I drive usually every other day during the week and one or both days of the weekend. If I can walk or ride with someone else I try to, no point in burning fuel & putting excess miles on my car if I don't have to.

I almost never drive, as I don't have a drivers licence, don't have a car, and my parents have a car I can't drive before I'm 21.. :(
But I love to drive :D

I started driving when i was 16 although here its not alowed to get the drive license until someone gets 18, anyway, i used to drive in parking lots, and other big and wide places where i didnt cause any danger....furthermore i do quite many kilometer a year since i was 18, and mostly between 1999 and 2001 due to professional reasons

Driving is cool, enough said. When I was last driving I loved it I would go anywhere by car no matter how near or far and as often as possible. This brought laziness to some extent but it was too good to drive :lol:

It won't be long until I get my 'new ' car, I can't wait!

I drive everyday - the 5 miles to work and back.

I go out for a drive for pleasure at the weekends but the car gets used mostly for commuting and as a shopping trolley... :lol:
