unpopular opinion (which I hold, so I wish it were more popular): anything that makes driving awful is good because the worse it is to drive the more pressure there is for people to move to any other form of transportation, and everything else is better for the world (except maybe flying, depending on the details)

I think your opinion is more and more popular. Personally I drive for a hobby, I don't have a commute or anything. Is my few thousand miles of year hobby driving really the issue?

There's no single thing you can point to as "the issue" (unless you just point to fossil fuels in general, I guess). Driving a couple of thousand miles per year as a hobby is pretty bad, that's quite a lot of "unnecessary" co2 emissions. Will it cause mass starvation and make environments uninhabitable? No, not by itself, but it'll contribute more than most hobbies. I believe it's in the same ballpark as a round-trip flight across the Atlantic, for reference.
