I pin it and run through the gears at least once every time I get in it.

I also let myself enjoy the car's handling by driving briskly through corners where possible.

Depends on the mood I just happen to be in. For the most part I shift at like 2.5k or 3k but once and a while I'll get on it. Mainly when I actually drive it, it's on windy roads or just messing with mustangs on some back roads!!!!

I like to do donuts and hit high boost in school zones during dismissal time and always launch hard when I meet a cop at the light.

But really, I keep it pretty easy with 3k shifts. If a wide open stretch of road is in front of me I open her up a little and then calm down once traffic is visible. Most of my asshole-driving is done on twisty backroads however.

If I get on it too hard i'm already going 100+. Usually drive considerate since most of my driving is highway. Then when the road rage kicks in down shift to 4th aaaaah

Like someone stated earlier 55mph speed zone 25 mph curve weeee

This one takes the cake Cause thats so true when your tired and what not you, and wanna get to your destination hassle free, so your always trying to lead the pack after the light turns green lololol And the MILFS are always in your wayy but you speed by them with your head turning. YEEAH!

Yea sleep and mood has alot too do with my driving style. If I'm tired then I go about 60 on highway and stay in my lane and be patient. When I am in a regular mood its 3k shifts, few lane changes, 5 over with the occasional wot for ****s and giggles.
