And while I understand that the pollution is bad, I can also see how someone might want to drive a Ferrari or Lamborgini for fun instead of to some specific destination.
I like not being in the car. I say hello to people. I travel routes cars don't. I like the exercise (and on snowy days, the challenge.)

I hate walking across parking lots. I hate being cooped up. I don't like the weird sort of "master of the universe" feeling I sometimes get. I hate being stuck in traffic. I hate what cars do to cities and neighborhoods. But most of all I hate participating in the absurdity of the whole thing.

BTW, have you ever actually driven a Ferrari someplace - it's a pain.
