Default How do you drive/ treat your motor?

i tend to drive quickly, but dont really get involved in excessive speeding

the car itself is abused everyday without fail. to the extent that a passenger recently said she felt sorry for the car and wished i wouldnt treat it so badly. that got me wondering.... how do other accords get treated? whats everyone elses style of driving?

well ive had mine a few weeks, so its still new for me, but i pretty much go fast everyhere. i floor it till it shifts in second, then i slowly accelerate after that unless im racing someone. so i abuse mine too.

abuse is not always flooring it, i attempt 4wheel drifts on any 'safe' patches, spin up on purpose yank the handbrake to shoot the back out round corners etc.
as an example, while bored in traffic, i decided it would be fun to ram the car in front (my mates car of course - he abuses his car more than mine though!) - he stuck his in reverse and rammed me back. we then did about 5 rounds of a HUGE roundabout at around 50ish to see who could get more sideways (he won, damn rear wheel drive cars!); and then we drove normally all the way home. i think i treat my car like a toy...


problem is, i spend most of my time at university with the "KOKS" - the uni race team. and so am used to acting like a **** in a car- until someone mentioned that hardly any people rag their cars as much as we do - im curious as to how many people actaually rag their cars and how badly

(PS. the ramming incedent was at low speed - no damage was done)

Let's just say that the 6500 RPM limiter is way too low![sm=gears.gif]
