that's why you beat the light with a 7k launch

I accelerate quickly from most lights, playing the "How fast can you get to the speed limit" game. Inevitably, someone (usually in a minivan ) always thinks I'm racing them and gives me a fly-by.

On backroads, I try to use the brakes as little as possible. 55MPH zone? 25MPH curve? No problem.

I just like to feel the G forces.

I like to open it up (EWG that is) early in the morning, smells like napalm! I love to romp with a clear road ahead. I always see how fast I can take corners as long as no one is around. Speed limit when I am around cars most of the time but I try not to be around other cars most of the time.
I get off the gas and coast to lights and then see how fast I can get to the speed limit as well.

90% of my driving is city and pretty congested at that. The only time i get to have a little bit of fun is on the off/on ramps.

Same here, although recently I've begun to get worried about gassing it on onramps since you can get a ticket for "unsafe acceleration" even if it only to 65 mph (speed limit).

I wish there were some back roads here. Or some really open freeways. Racing on the Gardenstate parkway or the NJ turnpike is FTL.

If:
The Road
My car and Me
Are ever caught in the same place at the same time, there is no telling what will happen next.......but to just give you a small idea.......Try putting a huge magnet on the bottom of your shoe and another on top of the gas pedal..................THATS HOW I DRIVE.


Any questions?
