And how did we figure out that this guy was buddies with the Sheriff? His daughter went to our high school. She was apologetic, they didn't expect this kind of response from the cops either.

Looks like you are making my point for me.

It's irresponsible driving and there is now point in arguing it's right to drive like that, but we need to enjoy our cars, even if we're not being the best of role models. We wouldn't have them if we didn't drive them quickly

Exactly! Honestly no point in owning a beast if you aren't going to drive it how it's meant. Unless you're one of those guys that buy it just because...well....the most expensive BMW.

Problem is mere proper acceleration in this car from a stop light without spinning tires will raise many brows and if witnessed by a LEO I believe that's a reckless driving ticket guaranteed, don't you think? Which again confirms my theory that owning such a torquey car can be a 2 edged weapon!! Fun at times yet like a bird in a cage the rest of the time -

My MPG is 14.5 now down from 19 mpg a few months back and I have zero traffic so I believe I still get to enjoy it but if it weren't for what I mentioned above my MPG would have been 10 or less -

Just how I feel
