Guess I forgot to mention the part where I never said I took the turn at the speed but only stated that it could be done... Hell the damn car was designed to handle it!!

On public roads, do have fun with the car, but leave a wide margin of safety. You never know what's around that bend, you never know when you might unexpectedly lose traction because of something unseen on the roadway, you never know when someone or something might come onto the roadway right in front of you. Be sure you can always stop safely within a short distance.

When, even though you know it's not a fast car, you still get mad when people either go slow in front of you, or get impatient and speed past you, because you feel that it's unacceptable behavior around a sports car.

When you can justify your 25-30K car cheap and still shop for 89 cent instant noodles for dinner.

When you struggle to get out of the drivers seat, and you have to help your girl get out of the passenger seat.
