How do you drive your MAX?

I am just curious if it is me? Or does everyone else drive similar to me?

in the morning to school I always drives slow because I'm usually half asleep and don't want to crash, after school I drive pretty hard, if some one decides 2 play with me I'm WOT. On weekends I drive a tad faster then traffic if not racing someone.

It usually depends on what car I'm driving. Our 89 has 154000 on it, so I usually redline at least 5 times while driving. We've only had the 97 for two days, so far I've just been cruising. I haven't even punched it yet. I put the seat all the way back too, but thats cuz im 6'4

"Drive like you stole it".. if I stole it, I would drive nice and slow, so as not to attract attention.

I drive my Max hard as hell. All the time.

I try and try to be nice,

but someone always has to set me off, then I see the checkered flag, and have to get there first. Its really my worst flaw, roadrage and constant risky driving. I've gotten alot better since the drop, and 18's, but a few yuenglings after a few heinekens, and its all downhill.

How do I drive my Max? Well, I have my left hand on the left side of the steering wheel, my right hand of the right side of the steering wheel, and my right foot on the gas pedal.

I almost always go WOT until I get up to the speed I want to go. I usualy don't drive realy fast{pretty fast though}, I just get there realy quickly. Then there is always the paranoya{S?} at every red light, i'm always thinking that the guy next to me is going to floor it so I always bust out 0-60mph in about 6 flat . Also I live out in the boonies with huge wide open one lane roads so I am constanly flying by the slow pokes in front of me .

What? I'm WOT'ing mine all the time and I'm getting over 300 miles on a tank all the time. I think I get around 360 miles to a tank.. but I normally fill it up around 315-325.
