I mean drive the car without the radio on, no cell phone conversation and no texting.
Just drive the car. Am I the only one who does that?

Does anyone just drive the car anymore?

Yes.
Did that often with the mustang. The exhaust growl was all I needed. The fusion is way too quiet and when the hybrid kicks in... I need some noise.
Nope. I do it too. I used to do it more when my Jeep was street legal. Plan on more of it when the Bronco is back on the road this summer.

I do that sometimes too. It depends what mood I'm in.
That's how I roll. Every great once in a while I'll turn on the radio but I rarely even do that any more. Plus, I think I'm the last one on the planet who does not have a cell phone.
I remember one such drive.
It was a cold winter years ago. Temp was about -2*F.
I was driving my Jeep to the store to get stuff for breakfast.
No top, no doors.
I stopped at the light and looked to my left, upon which I saw two guys from the rod & gun in their truck.
He rolled the window down and looked at his watch.
He then asked if I'd been drink'n.

When I first got my M3, listening to music while driving was genuinely frustrating. I reacted to the combination of music and engine noise like I'd react to the sound of two songs clashing.
That's less true now, but not by much. Most of the time, if I listen to anything, it's news radio because that still lets me hear the engine.
If I get my way with my next car, I suspect I'll be back to square one -- i.e. no music ever...

No I always have the radio on to cover up any possible noises that I may notice. I'm way too paranoid about things like this.

I paid a lot of money to upgrade the already awesome stereo in my 05 Mustang GT. It was great until I got the exhaust installed, then rarely turned on the music after that. I loved listening to that motor run through the RPM range, especially the tone change between 4500 and 6700 RPM. You couldn't hear the radio anyway. Awesome! Just today my wife and I took a trip in the Silverado without turning on the music.
All the time. I like music in my car but not all the time even.
Clutch, shifter, windows down, no music, shift at redline, good times.

I do that, just drive and shift and enjoy the machine. My car doesn't try to think for me either, it relies on me doing the thinking. It don't even lock the doors automatically above 15mph, I can open the door and jump out at any time! Okay it has tire pressure sensors but only because the goverment mandated them in the US awhile back.

Lots in the Trans Am.
Love to row through the T56, listen to the cam sing through the MAC headers and Magna flow pipes. T-tops off sun shining. The smell of unburnt fuel as I lay into the throttle with just a hint of tire spin and waft of rubber.
Oh yes I do.

I seldom listen to the radio and never talk on my cell while driving. Have no idea how to text, have no wish to learn.
A man and his car, its a wonderful thing.

Most of the time we have the radio on or CD's playing.
If I'm driving the mustang,I dont need the radio on,I just listen to the 500 horsepower force-fed monster under the hood
