Its funny really. I baby the crap out of it, no smoking, no drinking, no eating in car, pretty much dont breath around it and keep your damn hands off the paint. BUT when it comes to driving it, 80% of the time I'm crusining and getting great milage then out of nowhere I will smoke the rear up, or spin some circles in a lot, or 90' power turn it, slam the gears and all that, then all of a sudden go back to driving normal. >8)

I drive mine good most of the time, seeing is how i dont have money to pay for broken parts. I do get the tach up to around 5700 at least once a day for good measure. Then when im out with friends or am just bored my right foot does like to make the *** end slide out once in a while. No one else is allowed to touch the car but me either, so i guess I treat my baby pretty well.

Hahaha, I run into the ghost car pretty frequently on the highway, but I don't beat on the car unless I'm in a wild mood with my buddies on the weekend. We like finding how fast we can get going on the roads throughout suburbia (did 130ish right by a bunch of new housing developments... WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD MUAHAHAHAHA)

RE: Do you beat the crap out of your car?
yes...but not any of the above....i just drive hard period...stopped doing peg-leg burnouts because they were very unimpressive and pissed me off even more about having a V6...i manually shift the auto from every light because i want a 5spd SO bad...take turns faster than i should but with my suspension the car just takes it...but i've never done a doughnut (don't even think a stock V6 could [&:])....only done a handful of burnouts but that was with my old HR tires that didn't have ANY grip...i can barely chirp my Falkens now...i am hardest on 1st and 2nd gear then once i get into 3rd and 4th i let off and let the drone of cruising with dumps take over
