    I also take it easy driving my Taco, I just open her up when passing on the highway. I also have an RX8 for a more spirited driving experience.

    Sometimes I mash it and corner with it if there's some open road, not gonna lie. Just today I gave a Porsche Boxter and an M package BMW SUV a run for thier money. Pinned it out of the corner and was walkin away from the BMW while pullin up fast on the Boxter. Let off at about 70 and smiled.

    I drive like and old man. I shift at low rpms and i take turns nice and slow. But when i off road i cant help myself. I shift at high rpms and go fast threw the woods. So I figure if i drive like a old man on the street and go hard in the dirt it kind of evens it out.

    you drop it into first then wait till it bounces off the rev limiter and shift into second then slap into drive. (im at like 90 after this point)

    my sig says it. My GPS says I've hit 114 at one point. I've had my licensee taken twice Due to driving to fast. As long as I hit the track every once in a while the urge to never take my foot off the gas isn't so bad.

    I drive my truck normal. I like to take care of it since i plan on having it for
    quite a few years. When I want speed I take my quad to the dunes and beat
    on it pretty good!!

    No, I don't make enough money to burn up my fuel like that. However I generally set the cruise on the highway for 75-80mph.

    Though, on occasion if theres nobody infront/behind me, I'll have a little fun on a the highway on ramp.
