Once the car is warmed up it's wide-open whenever the opportunity allows. Which is about .000000000000006% of the time when I'm driving

In my last car, I think I only took it to redline once in 90k miles and that was because I misjudged an approaching car. The car was built for utility so the lack of brawn made any attempt at flooring it worthless.
In my weekend car, I rarely go above 5,000 rpm. I rarely go above 4000 unless I forgot that I typically like to drive in the slow lane at 65 so I don't have the engine spinning too much. Sometimes it's fun to blip the throttle a bit in first just enough to break the front tires loose. With that said, I "floor" that car once every 10 drives or so just from first to second gear letting off in third on the freeway. Car is super slow so it's not really a rush compared to the handling. |

Very much this morning. Running late, walk outside only to find that the recycling people fucked up and left shattered glass all over my driveway. No Xmas tip this year assholes.

Every time I get on the interstate, which is at least twice a day for my commute. I use mine as a DD. I floor it on the on ramps everytime!
Just got the MPE installed yesterday...makes it even more fun! |

Really, though, if you own a BEAST of a car and don't floor it VIRTUALLY every time you drive it, then why have a beast? You can own anything if HP and torque are not important !!
I upgraded from a 160HP/141lb ft Acura RSX to my 335d, and I enjoy the train pull every chance I get !! |

The few times in LA that there isn't traffic, or when a crapload of traffic finally clears up, so... Just about every time I drive, especially since I finally fixed the suspension and FL axle, and now that my car is finally able to dish out what I want it to do.
