I don't always hit VTEC, but when I do, I prefer weaving through traffic in 6th gear.

At 35 mph I'm in 4th or 5th, depending on how long I plan on being at that speed.

6th gear? That's awfully low RPMs... IMO.

Fun indeed. Keep an eye on your tire tread as well.

Dang, when I first learned how to drive stick, pretty sure my dad would be like "wtf" if I shifted into 6th at 35mph.

Lmao. No I only speed when theres no one around me or some guy is a dick and decides to speed past me when no one is around then cuts me off cause im cruising. Hawaii is mostly bumper to bumper or 2 car distance from you at all times. But certain times in the day and its wide open for about 1/2 a mile. thats the only time I could hit only 80. Yes 80 is fast in hawaii. I usually cruise but when people try to race me I just speed up a bit cause I dont want to race.

and yeah uh 6th gear is reserved for like 90+ mph. I can cruise in 5th at 25 but if im in 6th ill have to downshift a lot so its pointless.
