The problem with most people “driving like they stole it” is that far too many drivers have overly inflated opinions of their driving ability - most drivers reach the limits of their driving abilities long before they reach the limits of their vehicle’s ability.

There really isn’t anything heroic about driving significantly over the posted speed limit or weaving in/out of traffic just so that you can get to where you are going 15 seconds earlier…likewise with “beating” some other jerk/adolescent in a street race.

I absolutely agree that there isn’t much point to owning a vehicle just to let it sit in a garage but that doesn’t mean you have to take a vehicle out in all kinds of weather and/or thrash it around public streets to “enjoy” it.

You can drive “spiritedly” without being an idiot about it but if you really want to test your and your vehicle’s limits and your own, take it to the track!

I think they were called San Cervates but I can't be sure. My buddy works for mark taylor corporate and I was there when barely one building was up so he let me crash for a couple of months. What a small world huh!

Great video! My car is garaged at my house of course. But I drive my cars, hard. That's one of the reasons I get rid of them before the warranty is up!
