So how hard do you guys drive your car on a regular basis? Seems everytime I get in mine I have to "drive" it.

My car is driven very hard in stop and go situations. Every chance I get I put my foot to the floor.

On the highways I'm light on it and mostly in "cruise mode."

Being that I only drive 3 miles to work not that much.  However, to get to my gf's house I have a nice little drive through a 12 mile canyon filled with the twisties.  At 2am there is nobody so I have some fun, but only on days ending in "y"

243, Carbon Canyon I presume? I like to drive it early Sunday mornings and take sections at an "increased rate" of speed.

That would be correct Jonsey.  My favorite spot is between the church at the top of the hill and Sleepy Hollow

Only way for me to say it is, I drive my car; My car doesn't drive me.

I definitely do not hold back on her but it isn't too fast yet so I don't go crazy on her either

I let my car warm up properly, and then do selected hard pulls on lonely roads, and take turns hard with my fit out suspension. I even beat some type of fast Audi the other night off a light even though I had switched to my summer tires and it was 52 degrees(64 degrees or below summer tires break loose with my HP), meaning I sqeeled all the way through 1st and 2nd never fully gripping, and still nosed him.

I get on mine every once in a while when I drive it.  The bad (or good) thing is, you get going way faster than you have any business going (regardless of posted speed limit)....you get "speedometer shock" when you look down and see where the needle is

My car only has 4k on the clock, but I did notice this winter during my "anal retentive" clean-up that my rear tires have half the tread as the fronts.....so you be the judge

 Rarely drive mine "hard" on the street - maybe an on-ramp here or there...

Been known to have a LOT of fun in the proper environment though...



And my old toy:
