Default How hard do you drive your car?

Just curious how hard you guys drive your cars? Personally, i am a pretty respectful driver and can 'feel the pain' when i go to over take and need to bounce of the rev-limiter in second to get past before a corner ..

So, i am a pretty conservative driver, never really redline it, maybe done 1 or 2 5000k clutch/slip launches (Still on my original clutch!) Pretty much every time i drive though, i'll give it some WOT action and boost it up, just nothing which i think will be considerably detrimental to the motor.

Always meet service intervals and do more that is required and she should go strong for a while to come.

Hope this poll works ..

Fuck me .. Whats the deal with Polls on this fuckin site.

===

Poll Options:

Drive it like a 98 year old
Give it a bit of stick rarely
Cops some boost every drive
Maybe i should respect my car a little more ..
Track the bitch often, road driven race car
My car hates me

But without polling I hurt it pretty hard now its been modified. But never flog it or even get on boost when its cold!

I vote "Maybe i should respect my car a little more"

Bounce off limiter on cold starts
Oil changes every 20 000
Launch from all standstills.

Coolest thing i have seen was during the WRC, Solberg finishes a stage .. comes through time control and you check out his brakes and they are literally on fire.

Thats a definitive sign of some hard driving .. 'spect.
