It's just a degree of freedom. Getting harder by the day, though.

And then, there is also the thrill of knowing you are controlling a machine at its very limit while exploring the limits of your own confidence.
this is why i drive.

It's so true... never really noticed that... when driving hard, it's kind of like being drunk... you just forget everything. When driving fast, you're just so concentrated on what you're doing on the road that you completely forget about everything else that's going on... good point...
