If the fluids are cold: lethargically. As soon as the fluids are up to temp: hastily. If the temp gauge starts too read too high: gingerly. Mind you I do not beat on the car. I treat it with the utmost care at all times and never do anything stupid (Drop clutch, mash through gears, and so on), and rarely really speed in any real sense when there are others around.
Love looking at her when she is idle especially from lower angle. Enjoy my drive in it cruising or speeding not a problem. I am not a top-speed kind of a driver but more of a quick acceleration once in a while to get that feel of the throttle and quick gear changes. Love the smell when inside her. Yeap, I am talking about my 328 GTS, what else??
like this. i'm gonna be a terrible owner when i get an f-car, i can just see it staying dirty for weeks, stone chips and mud splats becoming permanent fixtures. maybe after some track time i'll chill out a bit though.
In traffic, Im paranoid defensive. On open road, I like to tach it up some. On I-16, I double the speed limit for a short burst. I hear you need to blow it out or carbon gets built up he he. Truly is that way w/ my RX7. But why do I do it in my Miata is the question
