I don't think it's lame not to have a car... If it wasn't for the public transportation problems we get in my area and the fact that it takes me an hour to get somewhere that takes a 10-min drive, I wouldn't even be taking my driving lessons.
Sure I'd like a car *insert picture of my dreamy blue Mitsubishi lancer here*, but it's not necessary to my life. And probably won't get any before I finish university either, which will be in about 4 years. My life's not that bad without it.
As for loving to drive well, I'm learning to drive right now so I do like it, but I get real scared real fast whenever there's an obstacle around XD
