I'm UPS driver. Jk xD
My way to work in 90% does not go along any particularly rural areas (partially because I'm choosing such route on purpose, even though it's by far not the shortest one), I know this route, I'm driving here every single day in my BRZ or MX5 for like 2 years now (and before that I was driving here for many years in my previous car for like 4 years or so), I'm driving to work in hours where there's almost no traffic at all (like 11 am or later), there's no traffic lights or any other rng based obstacles, no road crossings, no pavements, no people, no pedestrians... And due to all those circumstances I'm typically driving in a bit spirited way, sometimes measuring my time and collecting OBD traces for further analysis and comparisons, testing mods. You could say it's equivalent of canyon run in a sense... This route is so nice that sometimes I'm driving here also during weekends, just for fun as weekend fun ride. Well in matter of fact I don't even
have to go to office since I'm working in IT and could work remotely almost every day, I'm only going to office because I
want to drive lol. Going to work is only an excuse to go for a ride at this point.
I have few
favorite benchmark turns and jumps that always make me smile like an idiot and charge up my motivation for the rest of the day. And I simply like G's I'm experiencing on them. It's the kind of road where in worst case I'm gonna crash alone and probably not even kill myself unless I'd screw up really badly.
I'm obviously not driving like this everywhere, especially not in the city or rural areas. My idiocy has some well defined limits.
Inb4 just in case somebody was about to say I should take it to the track - I do - I'm tracking my MX5 in SPEC class, it's specifically track toy, hence it has Federals 595RS-R... Still longer, curvy, empty roads hit differently. It's just different kind of experience, we don't have such big closed circuits here. I never used even 4th gear in MX5 on track... They call it
tactical tracks but I call them
we couldn't afford reasonably sized piece of field tracks...
