    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    Drive it like I stole it.
    However you can still be courteous to the drivers around you even when driving like this. EG not tailgating, cutting people off etc.

    I usually floor it at some point every time I drive somewhere, but only when it's warmed up. Redline usually once a week. 'Tis good.

    I floor it up to very high speeds (on my private race track), but on the road I cop out as I approach the limit. Living life to the speed limit y'all!
