When she was still alive, I usually jumped on her at least once everytime I drove her. it kept her happy. hehe. I didn't really streetrace it though, although I did have some recent run ins on some cars. I took it to the track prolly 9 weekends oyt of the year at least. 3 runs min. each time I went. Cops know my car too well, plus i got a vanity plate, and it points me out quickly. And I am older(27) now, and hate the BS of a stupid careless / reckless ticket. Not worth the hassle of being tailed 100% of the time. I got tailed 60% of the time anyways.

I usually get on it once a week or so, but usually just to shut up a civic or something, and very rarely do they go past 60 or so.

Maybe once a couple a days. Since I haven't had the car for that long, I've never ran it at the track but it will happen eventually. I don't want to beat on my car too much because right now it's the only ride I have to places I need to go. But when I do get on it, it's usually just through one gear, shifting way before I need to.

I usually always like to go fast in my Stang when I drive it (about 50 miles a weekend). For some reason, every time I drive it its like the Stang is begging me to go fast! I cant deny my stang happiness so I give her what she deserves
