hydroplane your M3 off the highway into a parked van and then into a telephone pole only going the speed limit. After something like that, even the speed limit seems too fast. Since i got my replacement M3, ive been paranoid (especially in wet weather) on the highway. Such an experience will keep you from speeding

All of these are really good. I have a hard time as well, I think mostly because of the SC. I do pretty good because I don't drive it all the time.

Driving at the autoX is helping me to keep the lead foot under control on the street - it works most of the time....

driving a 1000cc motorcycle for a few years helped me to slow down in my car. I am actually a much more cautious driver now because of riding a motorcycle. It's weird, but I am much, much more aware of my surroundings.

How do you lay off the gas? I don't know how, but I know when you would, when you see me.

It's funny when people see me drive by, they pretend to drive like little angels, but once I've passed, they begin to drive like devils again.
