California is home to some of the best driving roads in the world. And there are plenty of great ones in the Bay Area. Most of us don't commute on them, but they're not far away.
Sure so go rent a really nice car and drive them once a year. There are only so many people who's hobby is actually driving that they would do it over 1/3rd of the weekends in a year. If you live in say the bay and never drive except to go hit these great roads then no reason to actually own.
Or buy a motorcycle. Small, actually much more fun to drive.
