Oh hell yeah man, right there with ya on handling buddy, and BTW, some of us here much prefer road racing over the straight line or oval track stuff. Haddn made it there yet but I'm def gonna make a concerted effort to make it to the F-1 race down by Austin next year.

There's some sweet hilly and curvy roads out in the country around here and I'm really lookin forward to makin some "spirited" runs through there once my car is finished.

Never been nailed for less than 15 over the limit but these days gettin one for 25 over carries some serious consequences, like a free ride to the pokey and your wheeled toy gettin impounded, then stiff fines/legal fees. The real nightmare comes if you're busted for street racin as the above scenario is then followed by them auctioning off your car!

Suffice to say that if I was ever to find myself in that scenario the fuckers will hafta earn their bacon 'cause I would NOT be just pullin over and handin 'em the keys, no way. With a great handling car w/AWD and 4 wheel discs, coupled with enough power to easily put a lotta distance between myself and Jon E Law, that's exactly what I'd be doin. Fuck 'em and feed 'em fisheads!

Hey man, ever considered one of those cool lil tricked out 3 wheelers they're makin these days? They look like they'd be a blast and even an otherwise blase' trip to the store could become an adventure when sittin that low to the ground with the wind in your face appeal just kinda like a bonus :>P

Though I don't tack on anything like the mileage of some folks here, with drivin as an integral part of my job, I've already driven over 22k miles so far this year just for work, or at least so says my GPS. Conversely, I bet I haddn put 3k on my pickup in the last year though, so I kinda get what you're sayin.
