Jeeeze. Man, you can tell those of you who live in cities. I drive 45 miles just to see my damn doctor. Never mind anything remotely resembling a decent restaurant. Drive 10.5 miles to the FIRST commercial establishment of any kind-a convenience store. Leaving there, go another 15 to get to the damn grocery, or pharmacy, or any typical modern living establishment.
I frequently remember when we lived closer-in, to the metro area (where a grocery wasn't even a mile away), and while I would definitely wish for that, as errands can be extremely tedious (and gas-sucking!), I also know that I can hear a car, turning toward our house, from nearly 3 miles away. There's no traffic; no traffic noise. No streetlights. On a Sunday, you can open the windows and hear...dead silence. Not much noisier the rest of the days of the week.
So, yeah...driving can SUCK. (I would drive a LONG way for one decent damn pizza, I'll say that. Phoenix has a lot of things, but fabulous pizza ain't one of 'em. Or CHINESE, which should be on the Endangered Dining Experiences list.)
