Driving is fun, but it also shouldn't be the default mode of transportation. Society and infrastructure should not be designed around the expectation/requirement of driving a personal vehicle to get there.

slowly driving through the countryside, or racing on a course, are fun

driving the same route day in and day out at high speeds should be left to bus and light rail drivers

I also find cruising on the highway with other safe drivers enjoyable, but maybe that just makes me car brained :D

Cars feel fine anywhere but a city. There they induce so much danger anger and waste.

Yes, driving a car is fun. I didn't say commuting was fun.
