When I get into the Saturn though and I start driving a car with 5x the weight and 60 less hp than the bike, not to mention it has no enjoyable driving dynamics to speak of, I long for something to add some pizazz to the 2 wasted hours a day I spend on the road. I was a car/driving enthusiast LONG before I was a eco-minded driver (that started somewhere back around $2/gal) so driving (really driving) is kinda in my blood and the Saturn doesn't satisfy.
