Funny you should mention it ... I just put my V1 on feeBay yesterday because I just don't use it. I gave up on driving fast/hard on public roads. I save that for AX now for two reasons:

1) no money to waste on tickets, and
2) I use significantly less gas when driving easier

Just my 2c

PS - Ruby - you live in Boynton? I live in Delray.

I have to concentrate and make a conscious effort to drive within the speed limits but I just can't help it when I'm in the Boxster.

Since I had the coilovers and 18's put on my boxster, I don't find myself driving faster than about 80 unless I'm on a back road and trying to push it over 100 for the fun of it.

It's just too rough and laborious to drive my car fast on the Southeast Texas roads with all the expansion joints rattling my teeth every time I hit one at speed.

However, when I'm driving my BMW 550, it's a completely different story. I use the V1 in the sport sedan a vast majority of the time because I'm always drifting up into the 90 mph range by just keeping up with everyone around me.

Texans really drive fast, regardless of the cost of fuel. There's a lot of ground to cover here.
