    Ignite the combustion engine and control something larger than yourself

    I used to control a hyper modern Navy frigate, a car is just boring. You go straight, have to wait for the next exit and constantly have to deal with morons who apparently got their drivers license with a pack of cornflakes or something.

    (just seeing you live in Netherlands though, yeah not the most fun country to drive at all lol)

    We have the best rated roads in the entire world, so. But traffic jams are a thing.

    When I’m going on holiday I usually drive, to Portugal or Norway for example. But driving for 18h is just boring. Especially when you’re not allowed to go faster then 90km/h like on most roads in Scandinavian countries.

    But like, sea to sky highway for example in a sports car. That’s one of the true joys in life. What a time to be alive

    Try a sports car in Germany. No speed limit. It’s fun, for a bit. But I prefer to get my thrills from other things in life.

      I’ve rented cars all over Europe. Autobahn is fun but not as fun as twisty mountain roads.

      Also the enforcement there is very strict. You can get away with a lot more in north america.

      Another thing is that in Europe you need to spend way more money to get a fun car. I’ve only ever gotten to drive 4 cylinder vehicles over there, with such low horsepower that those models aren’t even sold over here haha.

      I’ve driven all over Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Czech Republic, Iceland, Finland. And the most fun roads I’ve ever driven are still sea to sky highway, icefields pkwy, and top of the world highway. Nothing in all of Europe is even going to come close to these driving experiences for multiple reasons.

      Iceland comes close, but if you speed they will catch you. And a 90hp car there costs the same as a 300hp car here.

      That navy frigate is sick btw.

      Also a few of the things I said were a direct quote from here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8FkLP8En6k

        Driving in Iceland indeed was a lot of fun. Norway and Sweden also have many pretty roads. I’m ok with sightseeing with a car, but for just travel it’s just boring.
