I don't live anywhere near a big city or where there could be stop and go traffic.

But if living where there's stop and go traffic is wrong place, then the great, great majority of drivers live in the wrong place.

Personally, I would say the ideal place to live would not include any driving. Work, school, food, shelter, clothing should all be within walking distance.

But everyone has their own needs and circumstances. For an example, I've come to the realzation that if I want to live where I can actually afford a home I'm going to have to move to some sort of urbanized environment... quite probably with stop and go traffic and all... Or the middle of the desert and communte a couple hundred miles to and from work. That might be a good reason to get a sports car I guess.
