How many of you admit that you drive your car like you stole it?

Today maybe because of a lot of things on my mind and I couldn't stand slow drivers, I pretty much drove my car like I stole it. I know it's not good, but it really gave me a stress reliever of driving fast on the road today. I don't want to do that everyday though. I got my adreneline rush today. I thought my TSX wouldn't be able to give me a rush cause ti's only a 4 cyl, but surprisingly it does the job better than I thought. Dang Honda/Acura why don't you put more torque on your cars?

all the time

I drive the CL-S like a bona fide sports car, when it clearly isn't. I wear out my brakes and change tires waaay to quickly.

I used to do it daily. There wasn't a day that went by that my car didn't hit redline. Now I'm trying to save gas, so it's like every other day that I drive it like a crazy person.

My Taurus SHO loves to scream so I give it to her whenever I can....never at night, and never with people/traffic around...always somewhere way north that most people dont even know about...

8000 RPM redline doesnt help either

I drive my TL-S like it's a Ferrari. I think I'd probably kill myself in anything faster than that car. I should probably get a 4-cylinder car to curb my speeding habits when I get a new car in 5 months. Wait, the STi is a 4-banger...

Always. Although it actually stresses me out more, because no one ever gets out of my way. Apparently in Arizona they don't follow the left lane = passing lane rule.

So is the s2k, and it definitely didn't discourage speeding for me

I drive like I'm on the run.even do 100 late at night in public street but lately been taking it easy. It's not the high price of gas that stop me, or fear of cop, it the damn insurance premium haha. My insurance pretty low now so i am trying to keep it that way

I drive pretty fast. Well I try to. I get really upset with traffic. I hate it when my foot is on the brake more than it is on the gas.

It's not that I just want to floor it and drive wreckless, I want to drive in a timely manner. I want to get where I'm going and enjoy it.

Me either. I definately drive in a spirited manner.
I have to figure out a way to apply these somehow:

Bondurant School of High Performance Driving : High Performance Driving, Intro to Road Racing, Advanced Road Racing

Porsche Driving Experience : High Performace Driving (2 Day), Masters Course
