The peace of mind that driving on an open road can bring to a person is impossible to recreate through any other activity. Driving with no destination provides the ability for people to enjoy the sceneries and each other. Some might say they have no choice being constricted to the car, but the opportunity can be more rewarding than they had imagined.
Years later we still remember the long car rides we took with our families while growing up. These were normally car rides with a nice vacation as the destination. Our parents mostly hoped we would fall asleep, while in reality, we argued with siblings over the Nintendo or what movie to put in the DVD player. In the moment, we wish these times away, but when looking back on these bonding times, we value them much more.
Spending quality time with quality people is something far less appreciated in today's society, but it should be still greatly appreciated. We all too often wish our time away instead of realizing we should want the time we spend together to never end. The memories you are able to make during a long car ride are irreplaceable. Whether it be the road rage of the driver, the singing to the radio or the storytelling, there will always be something memorable occurring.
A car ride isn't expensive or extravagant. With some money for gas and a working radio, the only other thing you need to have an unforgettable car ride is great company. Take the time to appreciate the little things in life and a nice long car ride can do the trick.
