Default Took my car for a joyride...

I've had my car for 2 months now, and I've driven conservatively for awhile, today after my work I decided to take a joy ride around, let me just say I love my car even more now top down, windows down, gunning the car like there's no tomorrow (nothing that harms the car though). My advice for people who haven't driven their car "aggressively" for awhile, or ever, YOU SHOULD !!! it put lots of on my face. Though I have been in 500 hp supra before, it still would have the same experience you would have with a convertable.

i think everyone already knows the car is fast. you're probably the only one that hasn't done that already.

what were you waiting two whole months for?

I think you miss understood me, I meant it as I haven't taken my car for a joyride for awhile, I had driven it as it should when I first got it, but decided not to take the risk of getting a ticket, so I drove conservatively untill that day.

I think a good radar detector is a must if you are going to enjoy your car. My one has saved me at least 2 tickets in the last few months. I dont believe in driving my car like a berserker but there are places where you can go quickly with putting anyone's life in danger. I was overtaking a bus the other day on a long curving RH sweeper. He was doing 45 to 50 mph on a long winding 60 mph road that did not have a lot of places where you can pass. This place was OK if you didnt waste time. As I went down a gear and pulled alongside the sheer power of this car became apparent. I was reminded of the advert that says "Hang onto the wheel with both hands so your arms stretch the same amount!"
