Question Of The Day: Free Or Fun?

Long commutes. Traffic. Inane articulations on the radio. Most folks see driving as little more than a chore in between all the fun things in life. Auto enthusiasts pretend to be the exact opposite of this. But I'm not so sure. When it comes to getting that feeling of pure exhiliration on the road vs. enjoying the penurious plentitude of a frugal ride, many car guys tend to opt towards the cost side of the equation. The love cars. But money takes precedent. So imagine if you could enjoy zero transportation costs. No gas. No insurance. No purchasing costs, depreciation expense, ad valorem taxes, matinenance, repairs… not a single penny of expense. Sounds good right, Well, here is the flip side of the deal. Fun. It will never be in the cards. Never. Not so much as a single smile or a feeling of mild interest in the driving experience. From now on your driving will consist of an appliance like machine that goes slow, has no radio, not even a steering wheel or pedals. Just key in your destination, sit in the comfy chair, and wait for time to take it's course. You can't even make a phone call or play with the features of the car… because none is to be had. To work properly your baggage has to be stored and your seat has to be in the upright position. For the remaining years of your life all you have is this transportation advice. Nothing more. It will always work. Would you pick this free ride that is purely no fun? Or would you choose fun rides that are anything but free?   from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
