I was taught 40 years ago that the number one rule for safe driving is to not make waves. Blend in with the flow of traffic. Going too fast for the prevailing traffic speed is making waves. So is going too slow. People who think they have the right to drive slower than everyone else don't realize that a rock sitting in the middle of an otherwise clear running stream makes waves.
On the other hand, I generated my driving habits around Boston, where the roads are kill or be killed. "Blinker? You want me to warn the enemy of my intentions?" Took a long time to lose that mentality.

Yeah, these car was designed to be tail happy handling. They were not designed to be glued down on the street at high speed, and straight line performances. Next time, please get away from him as much as possible, becausei can see him tail happy easily accross all 4 lanes, and pile the accidents up. Those weaving cars should never be 86. Any FWD, and AWD like Evo, STI, GTR is ok to be doing so. I can not tell you how many of these 86 suddenly got out of control, not because of stuck pedal, but because people lack of respect for it, or underestimate it. Another fact. True car enthusiast and grown up driver will never weave like that . Reasons 1/ you ony save so much time at your destination, may be 10-15 minutes. While a speeding ticket is 250$ or more, with a sweet reccord, and 30+ minutes pull over. I can drive at speed limit, be safe, legally, and faser than you in case you got pulled over. 2/ you know your skills limit at the track, and you know on the street is not the place to do it. |

Look, there are going to be douchebags in any car that's "special." By that I mean basically any car that's not your mom n' pop buick. Motorcycles too (and not just crotch rockets). I think a user hit it on the head when they said that douchebags will be douchebags, regardless.
The point is to make a conscious effort to *NOT* be one of them. If you drive a twin and you're not a douchebag, then score one for the good guys. |

I had a feeling this topic would come up at some point, lol. Since this car is more affordable than other sports cars we will probably see an incline of douchery moves everywhere. Oh well, I forsee cheaper FRS parts online lmao. But I hope insurance doesn't go up :P |

Oh man, i love speeding on highways, I guess I'm a douchebag :[
I have a radar detector and for a while I was commuting 100+ miles a day, so you kind of get in the habit of just GOING. I hate to say it but it actually makes me feel a ton better about everything. After a long, shitty day at work, nothing clears my head up like flying down the highway for 45 minutes, skimming along, with the only thing to think about being the road ahead. One of the major downsides of driving as fast as I do is that EVERYONE thinks that I'm trying to race them and I end up with idiot ****s in civics and integras weaving through traffic at 100+ trying to keep up with me. THAT kind of shit is dangerous, and usually when it happens I slow down and laugh at them. I see your point though, I do drive more aggressively than I should in this car and I'm sure I'm not the only one. |

In Phoenix, it's the mustangs that then to be the d*bag drivers. Whenever I see another twin on the road here, they're usually pretty chill.

In my area its anyone with a G35/37, 5.0 Mustang, 335i/M3 or any variant of a A5, they all think there the shit, they all will tailgate you and there always the one doing 90+ in the left lane
In regards to the twins, I've only encountered one that was driving fast and that was because we were playing cat and mouse on the freeway |
