Driving can be fun, on good uncrowded roads with a nice car. There's fewer of those around every year, since cars now outnumber registered drivers. I grew up in Detroit and I attended the auto show almost every year with my dad as a child, so I can appreciate cars aesthetically too. But I'm very aware of the destructive qualities of cars, and that sours my love of them.

I hope and believe that the future of the automobile is in museums and wealthy private collections. If you're ever in Michigan, be sure to go to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn. They have an enormous collection of great autos from all periods and all countries. (They also have the rocking chair that A. Lincoln was sitting in at the theater when he was asassinated in 1865. You can still see the blood stains on it.)
