Common sense does not exist on the internet, so we just have to work around it.

cool guy, nobody said anything about my foot being on the gas in the twisties or me driving like formula 1 or doing burnouts. i think i mentioned several times that my driving was moderate, pretty tame, i didn't push it hard, etc. and yes, i'm serious here. so if you're serious too then we are serious here.

common sense may not exist on the internet but boy there sure does seem to be a proliferation of smart a$$ 16 year olds.

You actually believe yourself don't you? Keep using that throttle like an on-off switch and you'll reach the limits sometime soon. More than a few guys here have thrown their cars away and done serious damage ( including killing themselves) driving just as you describe...

PS: It's NOT the car.
