    So, im headed home lastnight in my 430 when i asked my self, i wonder how every one else drives their cars ? are they cruisers ? sprinted drivers ? or do people drive like they stole it ?

    me myself when i first bought my car i would tend to drive it at a sprinted pace/style but lately i noticed that my normal reaction to driving my baby is to just cruise it at 35-40mph. and if u pay attention to my driving record you would notice that i never really follow the rules when it comes to speed.

    as far as my new driving style goes i noticed that i enjoy it better. i think i like the low speed of cruising and taking my time in getting where i need to go.


    so what is your driving style and why ?

    Spirited driver. The car begs to be driven. It begs for more. Who am I to not honor the request of a prancing horse? I crave feeling it grip around turns at high speeds and the sound of the engine at 8000 rpm. If I want to cruise, I take a different car out.

    Usually cruise spirited but respectful of the law.. No tickets in 3 years of ownership.

    But..but..

    When the coast is clear and traffic is non existent.. it's time to play!

    On surface streets on the Westside (LA), nice and easy. Enjoying rowing the gears myself (3 pedals in my Ferrari) but not being aggressive. Let people pass, keep engine revs low, and no display of speed.

    But when entering a freeway on ramp, i love to hear the tubi roar as the revs hit 8000...

    She is a b*tch and I drive her accordingly. Night on the town fancy place to eat movies etc. kiss goodnite. Porsche. The Ferrari want to f*ck first. Have her walking all crooked and **** when she is meeting the family. No one is saying to break the law. Just give it to her. Let her know who is boss. If not she will stray.

    My driving style ?

    According to the 360 Owners Manual:

    Page 3-6
    Do not run the engine at speed rates over 4,000 rpm until oil temperature has reached at least 150~160F (65~70C)

    Page 3-23
    Gear shifting will be “faster” if requested with the accelerator pedal pressed all the way down and over 7,000 rpm (sport mode selected)

    I always follow instructions :)

    I used to subscribe to the same philosophy but the recent and desperate need for Gov't income leaves me each time wondering "Where the heck did the CHP come from???"

    I'm telling you man, there're EVERYWHERE and oh so very stealthy. They have these new motorcycles that are invisible in the rear view mirror or any angle...you look everywhere, think it's clear and the moment you drop the hammer you see red/blue flashing in the mirror....and the worst part is everyone looking at you as you're being written up.

    Purely speculating here, but I'm guessing you're either single, divorced and/or affiliated with a certain industry based in Chatsworth? ;)

    Negative on all three. Married, family man, hard worker, no affiliation to whatever group your referring to. Zero points. Terrible read. Don't ever play poker you'll lose your shirt.

    I drive to the gym around 5:45am and the mountain roads around my house are empty at that time... so I'm driving pretty fast and hard. The car(s), especially the 16M is simply amazing.

    As I get into traffic on the last stretch of my ride in or on my ride home, I cruise as I don't like weaving around traffic.
