I recently setup a racing sim rig and love to just cruise around after work as I don't have a real car. Absolutely de-stresses me.

Euro Truck Simulator is basically meditation without having to think about your breathing.

That's probably smarter than my after-work "tire warmups".

In the winter here, I tend to slide around corners, too. I live in a rural area, so it's not too dangerous, but it's something to do.

Definitely fun, but do keep in mind the amount of noise that generates and keep it to a minimum when within a mile of people. I used to live on a rural road with like six other houses, and people going 100 down a 35 with houses does get kind of old.

I have my favorite empty county roads. No houses for miles, great visibility. I prefer going to the south and driving on old banked mountain roads, though. Most people can't even get to the speed limit safely on those.
