also you need to not race the car everytime you start it. take it for a cruise instead of a drag race
when did I say I start the car and gun it. Before I even get on the highway I gotta drive like a granny 20 mph for like a mile straight

I'm not trying to say I don't like the S, just everywhere theres cops, or ugly ass full sized vans with more windows than a skyscraper in the way.
this statement right here. no need to worry about cops everywhere or big minivans in the way if you arent speeding. i'm not blaming you for wanting to drive the s hard, its amlost impossible to resist it, i'm just saying take if for a cruise man and just enjoy the car without going balls out. i was in the same position as you 3 months ago dude i know where you are at.

an NSX but I'm not trying to say I don't like the S, just everywhere theres cops, or ugly ass full sized vans with more windows than a skyscraper in the way.
NSX isn't going to make the cops or the soccer moms in vans go away.

I suggest you take up another hobby like Sky diving I've heard its quite exciting

I have lived in Northern Indiana for quite awhile and we are moving to the Nashville, TN area. The Tire Rack is in our back yard and they have their own track where they allow local clubs to host Autocrosses. There is at least one event every day of every weekend from early spring until late fall. This is right off of the 80/90 tollroad and about 1 1/2 hours from you. Autocrossing is a cheap date, $ 20 for at least six runs. It's a lot cheaper than a ticket and remedial driving school. Further, if you really blow it on the street, could you live with causing the death of someone's kids in one of those towering suv skyscrapers?? I couldn't live with that. I have never street raced and I have driven Porsches for 35 years with no tickets. I do all my playing at the track.

You must learn discipline grasshopper. This means learning how to drive your car smoothly and consistently. The best drivers look like they are almost going slow until they announce their times. It always blows me away to see this. Consider signing up for one of the high performance driving schools or an autocross school. Tons of fun and the only person you can hurt is yourself and your pride. There's a lot of great commaraderie at these events and you can also step up to Driver's Ed events or Solo I's. A little more expensive but a lot more fun.

Keep the shiny side up.

Mike
