I dream of wheeling down the road on an office chair, Is this a better metaphor for life than driving?

You can have one car free, but you have to keep it, use it, put gas in it, insure it, fix it when it breaks. What car would you choose?

Will health and safety concerns remove choice of car colours one day and you will only be allowed silver because it's safer?

what the heck is a blimp lol

kitiara, technically, a blimp is an airship comprising a gas bag and little else. It's usually cigar-shaped with horizontal tailfins, and is propelled by ground-based cables (or towed). The famed "barrage balloons" of the Battle of Britain in 1941 were blimps.
The more familiar Zeppelin, or dirigible, is [again, technically] not a blimp, though it is almost universally called that. It's an elaborate rigid skeleton of aluminium ribs covered with a treated cloth skin, whereas the blimp is only a bag full of gas.
The ill-fated Hindenberg was never called a blimp, but a Zeppelin.
BTW, "dirigible" means it can be steered. Blimps cannot.
There's an apocryphal story going round that the term "blimp" came from the British Royal Flying Corps. Their balloon was called, "type B, limp." I've been unable to verify this, but several ladies of my acquaintance claim it describes their husbands.
