Driving habits?
#41
I try to drive like a normal person now since my license was suspended for 2 fricking years. Hit 160+ couple times on freeway and slapped some retards who thinks they are dope like F-1 racers (I was 1 of those retards for driving like a maniac). I mean what's the point of getting this nice sport car with out ever enjoy its full potential... Don't get me wrong, I usually drive just a bit faster than speed limit/traffic flow. I definitely don't encourage street racing, it's just there will always be some punks bugging/ tailgating and they just don't give up...
My advice is to retrain yourself when you r on the road, and take all the anger out on tracks.

there was not one day before i gave my car back that i did not tare up the streets. like someone said above, 90 to 100 on the freeways. my usual speed on the freeway was 80 no less. unless ofcourse i spot the bacon strips.

I would have to say that I'm pretty chill while driving, if you think 90 MPH is chill, but to me it is. I guess the reason I don't race every where is because I know that my car can beat a lot of cars on the road already and thats just a great feeling!

Probably the hardest thing for me to do is keep the Z at the limit. You get people in SUV's, sports cars, etc... pushing you all day long. If they aren't pushing you they are cutting you off and throwing rocks at that nice front bumper. Most of those types of drivers just think that the we think we're faster and that we think we're the fastest thing on the road. Not all of us think like this expecially, if we have even faster cars. (Driven on the track - speed doesn't mean much to me on the road)
The ones I hate are the ones that pace you in a merge so you slow down. Then they slow down so your like carp I got to jump on it or I'm going to get into an accident. Most of the time you just blast away from them.
One time I looked down after these sessions to see I'm doing like 70-75mph or more. Carp again, I'd be the one to get a ticket even though I was just trying to get out of a dangerous situation. That really scared me. I mean we're down to 20-25mph and I don't have anywhere to go but into head on traffic or get rear ended by the SUV. I hate people that do the pass on the right merge thing to you and give you no where to go.
I did get a laugh the other day. Some guy tried this on an old lady and she forced him into a light pole. Doh !!! She didn't even see the guy but, she was in the right-a-way. Ahead past the do not pass sign etc... I just don't have the guts to hold on position like that. I'd rather smoke my tires and leave them in my cloud of smoke. j/k. But, I really want to.
I'm working on this ..... Do we have a support group to cover this?

I drive +20 on the street and +30 on the highway. When I get a ticket, I drive by the limit for the 4 month of supervision. When it clears I am back to speeding.
I know that’s not good but that’s my habit!

I am on the aggressive side...probably as bad as it gets without speeding. You will usually see me do 5 over the limit at most ,but i show no mercy to any off/on ramp, stop light or just about any turn as long as its dry out .Looove passing old people and then getting that funny look from them. I like to get sideways in U turns or just entering main roads when there are not any cars around. VDC is a mad pain in the ***, tired of having to turn it off on daily basis. Sumre am looking forward to this winter though...even though it snows like 1 day per year i am sure it will come in handy. She sees 6500 on daily basis and i know she likes it

Every since I started autocrossing, going fast in a straight line doesn't do much for me. Although I did find the governor (159mph) twice before I started autocrossing.
If I find some good turns in a secluded area, I can get aggressive. Otherwise I usually go just fast enough to get to the front of the pack, (For visibility more than bragging rights)
