Drive it like you stole it!

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

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!
