NYC as formative driving experience probably didn't help. But - seriously, good cars = good times! Someday I hope to own a good car, with a good engine and an excellent driving mix in the noisemaker so I can prove this fact to you empirically.
(Granted, the other reason I love driving is because the other options are 1,000 times worse - would you say that public transit was really a good idea to get to, say, the job you recently quit? and the grocery store afterward? And the party on Friday night? - but that V6 engine and engineering design that makes the car feel like it's got road traction and isn't a leaf on the wind elevate the experience from "not the red line" to something giddy-making. Or a V4 with, you know, actual pickup. hourglasscreate's Prius has more kick than a Focus.)
