AGREEED!! My parents give me shit about driving down US-33 and through the mountain when going to and from school, but 81 and 64 just gets so damn BORING so fast, that I have to go another way. I don't even care if I get stuck behind a big truck, that makes me even more happy... it gives me a reason to pass on the left with my foot to the floor 8)
Same thing with my job over the summer. I live literally 5 exact minutes from my work. But after a stressful day I'll drive in the biggest 20 min circle through the nice parts of town with all the windy roads and by the time I got home loads of stress were taken off my shoulder. Every now and then I have to factor in gas and it always works out to be worth it!
Even my parents do it without realizing, we've driven to Florida and back about 18 times in 5 years even when we had the option to fly. My dad and I left for Florida once, on a whim, at 2 in the afternoon just to pick up my grandma cause she was complaining she hadn't seen snow in a while and it had just started snowing in rva, so we scooped her up (and a new washing machine at the same time). We left at 10pm for Atlantic City right after a thanksgiving family dinner lol (because my wanted to do something exciting) this is by far my favorite spontaneous trip, cause I drove and we got lost at like 2am in the morning and it was just great!
Driving is just great man.
