I Love Long Drives

Paradise... There's nothing quite like getting in my car and driving down the open highway for hours on end. Since 2012, I've felt the need to escape the city, and all its annoying people for a day. And I do that by going on long drives, alone. It all started last year, I had the week off work, and had nothing to do. So I decided to drive down to the mountains, spend a little time there, and then head back, just for the hell of it. And so I did, the whole trip took about 9.5 hours to do and spanned about 800 km. And it was all worth it. I'll never forget the moment when I parked my car on a service road off the highway, sat on the hood of my car, lit a cigar, and just sat back, and enjoyed the scenery, and the peace and quiet. It was like everything that annoyed me in life, and everything that had stressed me out, had disappeared. Those 30 minutes might have been the best 30 minutes of that year. I remember saying to myself afterwards, I have to do this again sometime. And I did, about 2 months ago, I went on another long drive, longer than the previous drive, it spanned about 975km, along 5 different highways, some surrounded by mountains, others surrounded by flat plains. This trip took me about 14 hours to complete (stops included). And it was even better than the first one. Some people asked me after: "Don't you ever get bored, or lonely, doing that"? Absolutely not, I enjoy ripping down the open highway, with metal music blasting. And I cherish the alone time, one of the best parts about my road adventures, is the fact that there's no people to bother me, unless of course I get stuck behind slower drivers, that sucks, but I just pass them, and I'm happy again. I think I'm gong to keep going on yearly road trips, sure, it adds a lot of KM's to my odometer, and costs me on gas, but it's all worth it.

Ya, it is my car. That\'s another reason why I go on long drives, the car makes me want to
