Since there isn't any rec.trucks and rec.boats really doesn't apply to driving,
that leaves rec.motorcycles as the only other newsgroup that might have an
interest in calling it rec.driving. However, I suspect that the purpose of the
group (as suggested) is to discuss automobile driving, not driving in general.
So rec.autos.driving makes sense in that respect.

I like the idea of rec.autos.driving, personally.
