Well, I can assure you, driving a car that has enough power (from a 4 banger) to spin all four wheels, and beat 8 cylinder "muscle cars" can be, "IS ADDICTIVE". Not really sure if this is the right one to use here... But when I drive my wife's Prius C it just doesn't cut it... Riding my bicycle 160KMs in one day, does almost do the same thing at the end of the day tho, it's just a slow burn instead of a big rush...
