Places I feel I deserve to drive my car because I purchased it:
Every road in the world (even if I don't pay my fair share of tax to that, or other roads.)
Raised roads (some people call them sidewalks or bike lanes? IDK, all looks like asphalt to me)
Inside hospitals (you want me to walk from reception to pre-surgury? lol!)
In the grocery store (why do they give me this ghetto push-power car when I'm just going to transfer it all to my real car?)
Nature (I like nature, so I love driving through it on asphalt with my AC. My friend has a real big truck they say can drive through non-asphalt nature, but we haven't tried it yet because they don't want scratches).
My kid's school (I heard some parents make they kids walk to school, but I won't do that, it's 2 km and I don't want them getting hit by a car).
Exactly. They would literally drive up to everything. I mean not everyone is like that. But a lot are.
