Who drives their 370 hard often?

Ya know, I still baby the 370. I mean, I give her juice every now and then, but she's still perfect so I feel weird drifting or doing burnouts. Now,

Now, when I get behind the wheel of my 350, I let the crazy flag fly. That thing is full of rock chips, uggo rims, a beatup interior, so I really smash the hell out of that thing.

Every time I drive my Z and bring it home, I notice another ding/dent/chip/etch, etc.

Not even got 2K on it yet, and I'm always getting to the point where I wonder if I'll even bother stipping off the stuff the detailers put on, and putting Zaino (that I bought $300 worth of stuff and have yet to use any of) on it.

lol

That, and I'm kinda lazy. I want to get a DA polisher first, and I'd rather use the money that would pay for that, to get more debt polished off.

It's good for a car to be redlined occasionally to burn off some deposits and get the juices flowing.

I wore out a set of brake pads in 20 minutes on the racetrack, but I though I was just taking it easy, apparently not.

Indeed LW75 well put, by my house there is a mountain pass that is very curvy and a ton of fun to go for a drive on after work or on any given afternoon, it really is great to jump in the Z and just go cruise.
