What’s Your Favorite Type of Driving?

Driving isn’t just a chore—it’s an experience, and some flavors of motoring hit harder than others. Rush-hour slog through a packed metro area? Forget it. But threading a twisty canyon road on a crisp day, where every corner feels like a dance, or pushing a race car to its limits on a track—those are the moments that turn driving into pure adrenaline.

Maybe you’re all about the sideways chaos of drifting, the straight-line fury of drag racing, or the slow, methodical challenge of rock crawling. Ice racing? Baja-style trophy truck madness? All valid.

The beauty of driving is that there’s no wrong answer—just your answer. For Jalopnik’s Logan K. Carter, the sweet spot is high-speed, jump-heavy Baja off-roading, where a 2025 Ford Bronco Raptor press car becomes a desert missile. After eight hours of “evaluating” it in the bone-dry mountains outside LA, Carter’s grin was permanently welded in place.

While he admits low-speed technical off-roading isn’t his jam, the Bronco Raptor’s ability to skip across brutal desert terrain like a skipping stone—complete with chassis-shaking jumps—earned it top marks. Canyon carving in Malibu’s Malibu canyons or Angeles Forest trails comes in a close second, proving that even in traffic-choked LA, the right roads can turn a commute into a highlight reel. So, what’s your poison? The track, the trail, or the twisties? Share your pick in the comments.
