I'm from Los Angeles, where car culture reigns supreme. I suppose the equivalent would be eating in the car versus sitting alone in a restaurant or at your desk at work.
I'm from the US and always have had a car but since highschool have spent any "social time" like lunch locked in a toliet stall because I am terrified of people and people don't seem to like me either.
I also eat in my car but first need to drive to a secluded spot.
