Great video, guys. I'll throw my comment in for giggles, who knows?
I use my car as a day to day driver, unless it's snowing or complete crap out, and then my old war horse Cherokee gets driver duty. When it's decent out, driving down the highway the windows down makes me smile. The way this car handles is sublime, and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Luckily, my daily drive is about 30m each way, so I get some solid seat time. But the highway isn't all it's cracked up to be in a little car like this - Twisty back roads are my domain. Now, being in the middle of the country, there's not a whole lot of those, but I cherish the few I've found around my locale, and I drive the absolute hell out of them.
I do try to do so safely, making sure no one else is on the road in an initial run, and then going from there. And boy does she shine in that capacity - And not only does this make me happy, but it's also stress relief from my job.
Sure, tech support isn't terribly stressful, but sitting all day, dormant, looking at car parts and forums drives me crazy. And so when I get the chance, we drive hard through the back road twisties.
That said, I do try to do all my own work on the car - Exhaust from the headers down, my intake, my wheels and tires, my head and tail lights. Mostly done over the winter while she was garaged on the worst of days.
All in all, I strive to be as fantastic of an owner as my car is fantastic of a car.
