There was period of time when I liked to drive fast, a couple of years maybe in my mid 30s. But then I came to realize that: A) it doesn't make that much difference in the overall travel time, B) It's aggravating (as you noticed) and causes more fatigue, C) Cruising slower is much more fun and and you arrive at your destination more relaxed. And it's not just the age, I think. I know plenty of people older than me that drive like nuts.
