Good for you, bpbenda. It's what living is all about.

Well said.
Being aware of you surroundings is key to fast driving.
I will admit that I speed on highways 100+ constantly, when the time is right.
I'll take my e91 as fast as it will go. At the right time.
Please don't waste our time telling how thats wrong.
There's been a surpisingly small amount of soapboxes in this thread, lets keep it that way.
Anyway, like I said, I speed alot, but haven't had a ticket in 7 years, and have never been in a car accident. I am always aware of everything going on around me, am constantly looking far ahead, and in all my mirrors. For 18 years I've taken every car I've had to it's limits.
If you want to drive fast, but aren't sure of how to do so go take a drivers school on a track.
Growing up my best friend and his dad raced carts, then stock car etc.etc., and I was taught early on in life how to drive fast, safely.
Driving fast is too fun , and worth some calculated risks.
