When first up at red light your not just driving, your racing.

for that matter, you dont take the Porsche for "a drive", you take it racing even when its your DD.

when going through the twisties, you check the mirror to see if the honda behind you made it as well

You turn down the music to enjoy the song your exhaust is playing.

When you spend more time and money on it than you do on the daily driver that makes you your living. That's me, my p car is mint always and i don't begrudge a penny. Can't say the same for the daily drive.

When I am on minor roads especially the twisties I am looking ahead to make sure there are no parked cars that might be police cars with radar.

I totally respect the speed limits in the city but country roads I find tempting....
