Ever since I got my driver's license a little over a month ago, I've been obsessed with cardriving. This weekend I managed to drive 400km without a single purpose at all, just for fun and relaxation, trying to shift gears better and smoother every turn. <P>With a fuel price of almost <b>$1.10/liter</b> (yes, that's <b>$4.16/gallon</b>) it's rapidly becoming a very expensive hobby. <P>Perhaps I should seek help ;) Perhaps I should try and convince the Dutch government to get rid of the excessive (90% of the price) environmental tax. But for now I'll just have to cut down on computer hardware expenses I suppose ;) <P>Oh btw, if you have any smooth driving tips, please mail them to me!
