Yeah, I hear ya! I got my new Volvo S60 last October, and shortly thereafter I was hit with a big disadvantage to living in a city which I had never before thought about. It's hard to come up with excuses to leave the city!
I grew up in New Mexico, where a few times a month you're driving three hours down the road to get to somewhere worthwhile (mainly Albuquerque and Santa Fe). Plus, those cities housed all NM Volvo dealers. So when you get a new car, you were guaranteed your 3-hour inaugural tour. I never realized how important that was...
Well, so far, I've only made it down to Olympia once and up to Bellingham once. Such trips are simply insufficient... city driving sucks!
BTW, congrats on the car! Looks like fun. Here's hoping you can find better excuses than I can to get out and drive.
