i used to drive like crazy, but then i realized that i was putting other people in danger, not just myself, and i thought about how i could never forgive myself it i hurt somebody...so i drive cautious and only get on it when there is no houses and traffic in sight.

most the time ill do about 10-15 over during the day when i can see everything. I try to stay closer to the speed limit at night. Im scared of getting instant-on radar. I usually cruise about 95-100 on the freeway... Around here if your doing 80 in the fast lane your getting passed lol

In the states I am pretty good about speed, but here in Europe I tend to forget that I have a family.

I'd say I normally drive in the 5-10mph over area. I try to stay away from getting pulled over.

+1 you also gotta remember that even if no cops are around, if anyone else is and they see you driving like an idiot,they'll call you in and the cops will start ''coming out of the woodwork''. don't you just love cell phones? and even if they don't catch you that time, they'll be watching you like vultures (don't ask how i know,i'm innocent damnit!)

Every gear for me lives at 5500rpm average. What can I say, I didn't buy this car to look at it.

everyone I know in the states or in Europe, say i am insane, I drive 110+ on highways, but i respect speed limits in residential areas and school zones, got evo for 4 months and I have 11k miles on it. I can't get out of tickests easy showing my european papers here and american in europe.
Got jailed twice for trippeling the spped limit. I can't help it, I do track days and autoX. And I still drive fast on the street.

there is a down fall I totall a car a year artleast. Not my fault but speed contribuets to that. Usualy peple cutting me off and really unlucky with cars runing lights in front of me
