I followed the break-in, and I usually drive with the flow of traffic. I learned a long time ago (when I was a nieve and invincible teenager with an old musclecar) that street racing costs a lot of money and that driving is a privilege, not a right. I do use the full throttle acceleration when I can, especially when merging - on ramps are made to accelerate to highway speeds and get on the highway, not to gently get onto the highway at 35 mph and gradually speed up on the highway.

There are some nice backroads near where I live, and I do enjoy having a well handling car - but I think the car's handling limits are far greater than the speeds I am willing to take the turns at (usually the max road speed limit, not the suggested turn speed).
Well put, LW75, well put !!!!!!!!

I usually "get on it" at least once every time I drive it. Just doesn't feel right if I don't!
