So which do you Prefer Cars or Driving?

[RickRob]

Definitely driving first, cars second.

It's the same questions as: Which do you prefer, sex or women!

 

[Darren Slone]

I prefer cars, I like driving but cars are like art to me, if I could've put my old 911 on a stand to walk around it I would have, same with some of the other cars I've had too, the Z included .

I need a 'both' option - this is an impossible choice :scratchhead:

+1

+2

The main reason I chopped in the 35iS for the 435xd was because driving is more important than the car .

I drive the 435 everyday - the 35iS was weekend / special occaisons.

I like cars, I like looking at them, reading about them, watching them, cleaning them but I guess the pleasure really comes from driving. Uncertain routes, new places, old favourites. The type of vehicle might enhance that experience but overall i think I prefer the actual driving.

I'm still struggling with this :scratchhead:

For me its like asking:

Do you prefer eating
or
Do you prefer food

I just cant separate the driving from the car :|

Both again - I love cars hence me owning (too) many. Especially the Golf, is a piece of art that I don't drive a lot but like looking at as and when - like looking at a painting.

I am also guilty of opening the garage and just looking at the 911 and the X5 which I both love (to own and drive). The Audi I do not love, just a daily. The Abarth is fun in itself but is quite hard work as it is like a go-kart which can not absorb any bumps what so ever. My view on the gearbox is fairly well known

Do you prefer eating
or
Do you prefer food

And if you saw me you would know the answer to that one too

:?... WHAT THE ****? :dizzy:

 

[jimmybell]

Logically that makes sense, but we all know - when you drive something every day .. it's less special, less of an occasion.

I'll throw in another personal anecdote might help your decision.

On this occasion I was driving a Mk1 Nissin Micra 1.2 down the back lanes between Launceston and Liskheard. It's a quirky piece of road that is typical B road complete with very narrow sections and the occasional pheasant in the road. My point is it was made for a small hatch. Next thing I noticed a White Viper in my rear view mirror. So not wishing to get in his way I upped my pace and started to actually drive the car from door handle to door handle. Every narrow twisting section I would pull a few corners ahead and every sniff of a starlight he would charge after me. After 5 or 6 miles of this I knew there was a straight section coming up, so I took the opportunity, before we got there, to let him pass. Got a big thumbs up and a smile, as I waved him by. He might have been driving a Viper and I might have been driving a Micra, but we were both enjoying driving our cars down that lane.

Lol, very tough, but if you like driving then I think you'd find driving just about anything / everywhere interesting and enjoyable, can you say the same about 'sexing'?

 

[paulgs1000]

We need an option - driving with the roof down . . . . :lol:

I am sorry but I had a Micra as a loan car once and it's the worst car I have ever driven by a country mile and bearing in mind my first car was a Skoda Super Estelle 120L so I have experience of a diabolical car, but I just don't think it gets much worse than a Micra and I would entertain walking easily before I got behind the wheel of a Micra again.

The Micra is just woeful in every way for me, however the most favourite car I have owned is my Nissan 200SX so I don't have anything against Nissan at all, the GTR isn't bad either

We had a red micra as a second car years ago, it was a nippy little thing around town

Precisely my point. I was never a massive fan of our Micra, though it was nippy and you could throw about a little bit before the under steer kicked in. It was the driving I enjoyed that day, not the car.
