hahaha
i'm glad i'm not alone in driving like an idiot... heh

i just got my max and i'm doing the same thing... i have to be the first to take off at a light...

i have to get up to speed extremly quickly... ;-) hehe

like someone else said here... I have to try and break land speed records... heh

and for some reason everyone is trying to race me... maybe it's just paranoya... i dunno ;-) hahaha

WOT is our friend... embrace it... massage your right foot, by applying pressure to the gas pedal... and avoid using brakes, cause that's just going to slow you down... and we can't have that!

Somewhere in the middle. On highway, between 65 & 75. Usually shift between 3 & 4k, with occasional sprints to 5k.

My goal, balance fun with longevity. Want to keep the car for 200k+.

my dumb friend...

told me not to do that at a stop light(quickly take off when it turns green), i asked why, and he said cause you can get a ticket. i was like, WTF, its not like i even chirp the tires, i give it some gas, to get the car rolling, then i punch it, and before you know it, i reached the speed limit. there is no law that says how fast you are allowed to reach the speed limit, is there?

hmm actually i wonder that too...
i really don't think theres a law on that...

the screeching probably...

though the only possible danger i see is a car who decided to blow the red light... gotta watch out for them...

Can't drive to fast....live on an island. Gas to expensive, to many people on the roads...etc.

The ticket is called "Exhibition of speed"

Yes, there is a law for that. It's called expedition of speed. If a cop feels that you were trying to speed, even if you didn't exceed the speed limit, you can still get a ticket. Not sure what the laws are for every state but out here in Hawaii, this is what will happen. There was a guy once who wrecked his car on the highway (he hit a guardrail) and when the cops showed up and looked at his engine, they gave him a ticket for expedition (sp?) of speed. I guess his engine was all modded out. Peace!

And only that, but by taking off the light fast you can get yourself in a wreck, since there re other drivers who still pass the light after it turned red...

But me, I always try "to slow my russian a$$ down" (a cop called me so) but it only works for first 5 mins

It just depends on how big of a hurry I'm in, or what mood I am in.
