I love the ability to just go somewhere, most times nowhere. I''ll go through a tank of gas taking a road trip somewhere just because I wanted to see where it goes. I've found some great places that way. I love attacking a twisty road, although attempting to do so when I had my work truck was not so enjoyable. I love plugging in the iPod, hitting "random" and driving until the music stops, and if the music stops before I get back, I just hit repeat. To me, there's just that connection between man, machine, and asphalt that when it all lines up, it's simply euphoric. Playing GT4 on the PlayStation just doesn't cut it.
To me, it's like a stress reliever. I can clear my head, and be temporarily relieved of stress. I actually enjoy the commute to and from work. When my car was jack-stand ballin' and I couldn't do those things, it left me miserable like a smoker who hasn't had a cigarette all day.
Now that you've got me thinking about driving, I think I'll go on a midnight run right now.

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
