POLL: Describe your driving style. How hard or easy do you drive?
Fairly busy interstate with a 55 mph speed limit. How fast do you drive?
An off ramp that has a long sweeping turn.
Do you take it easy or do you down shift and make the tires squeal?
4 lane highway that you travel very often with a moderate amount of traffic.
Do you take it easy or do you change lanes often to pass other cars?
If there are 10 fun turns that you encounter during a drive. How many of then do you make an attempt to drive in a spirited manner?
Feel free to add additional scenarios.

65 MPH

I usually go double the suggested ramp speed, but don't let tires squeal.
4 lane highway that you travel very often with a moderate amount of traffic.

Depends on traffic. But there are usually some slow pokes here and there that I just have to pass, so lane changing happens quite often.
If there are 10 fun turns that you encounter during a drive. How many of then do you make an attempt to drive in a spirited manner?
As many as possible. That's the whole fun of driving this car

1. (55mph) I go 65-75mph 2.(off and on ramps) I take them hard to feel the limit of the car
3.(highway) I weave only when traffic is going slower than normal. 4.(turns) I'll take about 80% of the fun turns spirited

Purposeful driving answers follow (more):
If my intent/purpose was to "joyride" and soak in the driving experience, here are my answers:
1) 55 means if there are no cops and good visbility... up to 85... full weave (far left to far right if needed)
2) Off ramp - enough to feel handling limits... but On ramps are funner cuz you can keep gunning it once on the interstate... So yeah, at least get out of 5th... most likely down to 3rd (radius dependent)
3) Answered in 1) I guess... full "bob and weave" or is that a hairstyle??? =) I try very hard to only pass on the left when possible... All this is cop/traffic/hazardous weather dependent of course.
4) at least 7 out of 10... Depends on familiarity of the road, and the other conditions as listed in 3) First ones lighter than last ones.
How about this scenario:
You are in the farthest left lane of an interstate and you are a courteous driver that is giving ample distance to the next car. The driver in back of you has some sort of stick up his/her *** and is attempting to "leapfrog" in and out of the farthest left lane. Do you speed up to block them out? If they somehow get in front of you, do you follow in the same fashion to restore the "proper order"?

Smooth and easy but fast (80 in a 55) most of the time, but I push it to 90% (more)
about 20% of the time when it's pretty clear and smooth. I don't like pushing it on choppy roads, even though it would be a great telltale of the handling, I just wouldn't want to do that to my car.
I prefer smooth sweeping corners and total acceleration on on-ramps.
I've only gotten to the point of a four-wheel drift three times on dry roads. All three were very smooth and under control :-)
Why Eric?

Answers:
1. 65-75 mph.
2. I keep trying to squeal the tires on the off ramps. The off ramp to get to my house is a 45 mph ramp. I keep pushing it faster and faster but still haven't been able to find the limit on the car. My last attempt had me going 85 mph with my foot on the gas...no squeal yet.
3. Always pass other cars. Flash lights for slower drivers to switch lanes if they're in the left lane.
4. All of them...live life to the fullest.
