To not be completely facetious though, it's going to be hard if not impossible for you to understand someone's passion for something, if you don't have any concept of enjoyment for it yourself.
A great many people find enjoyment in driving, for she sake of the activity itself. There are inherent risks and environmental downsides to it, for sure, but the same could be said for many things.
Your comment is however, the sort of thing that the grandparent comment was about - this attitude is expressed a lot on DN, and while this is an assumption on my part, it makes me feel that these people (such as yourself with your comment) must live in an environment where you haven't had the chance (or necessity) to use vehicles in the capacity that gives you an appreciation of the leisure aspect to them.
Even if that's not the case, however, it does pay to at least recognise that while you're strongly against something you can at least be objective in how you express your opinion.
BTW I think cars are super fun, I'm actively involved in motorsport, and I can completely understand when people aren't interested in it.
