Are you from El Paso? My husband is from there, and him and his younger sisters also love to drive. His parents have made a point of getting them all cars by the time they're in college at the latest. Part of it is that it's really hard to get around that city without a car, but they also take really good care of their cars and treasure them even after moving away to a city with slightly more transit options. It is interesting though that they seem to buck the trend of younger people not wanting to drive as much.
