It looks like "driving" has different meanings in our languages. Drive is an active verb, it's a forceful version of pushing. Think of a cattle drive, rather than simply sitting behind a steering wheel. Driving takes something out of you.

Running a tight, responsive car that gives plenty of feedback is driving. Taking a big SUV with an anchormatic out for a spin is passenging- as far as your body knows, you never left your living room couch. If you get out of any car after several hours and feel refreshed, you were a passenger no matter what seat you were in.

I want to see the Vette. The fuel log won't be great, but I want to watch it not suck. that would be so cool.
