i enjoy driving my car very much, and its not because i enjoy the scenary around me. It's usually to blurry to desifer.
I always tell myself to drive slower, but my car doesnt like to go slow, it gets bored!

I open her up and let her breath taking her to redline a 3-4 times depending on the length of the trip. Otherwise I usually drive like a normal person. Sometimes if a really good techno song comes on I'll just go nuts and whip her around corners and do some heel toe shifting.

9k pulls through traffic consistently... along with 6-7k rpms always on freeway. no less than 45 mph into most turns... and lots of clutch drops from stop lights / intersections.

its a fun car

That is pretty good to do 9k pulls with a stock EVO. You must have gotten one with the factory rev limiter removed

Usually I don't ever go over 4K rpms, most shifts are around 2.9-3.3K Rpms. Saves gas and gas engine life (I hope). .

Wheather effects how I drive. I remember when I could floor it in 2nd gear in the rain and not slip a tire. Now my tires are bald and I'm pushing way more power and it will go sideways on me if I floor it in the rain.

I pretty much beat the **** out of the car.

With the gas prices here in PA I keep it below 4k most of the time, I obviously open her up when i need to though.
