How do you drive?


It depends on which ride I'm in.

The Ranger and the Crown Vic PI get driven fairly "sanely", so as not to attract too much undue attention from the local LEOs. The Jeep, when I take it out, gets the most abuse. Not hard-core 'wheeling, but not as picky about easing through stuff, either.
 
I beat the living hell out of my Jeep...it had the 5.9 in it so I drove fast everywhere, and it did everything I asked of it.
 
Grandma - sort of. At least I go the speed limits. I don't think I've ever gotten the engine over 3500 rpms.

I'd have a different tale to tell if I still had the '89 FoxBody. I shifted it between 4500 & 5000.....same with the 302-powered Datsun pickup I had in TX.

in dd mode i drive like a pizza delivery driver. i always drive with a sense of urgency, but safely as well, my record shows it. in work mode, i beat the living hell out of my truck.
 
Depends what I'm driving and who's gas in using....

Most of the time I'm in a hurry though....

I've only had one ticket (hard to believe) which was a wreck less driving that set be back about $800 when I was 16. But I've had more warnings then I can count.
 
i'm a careful driver but i like to see if others around me are driving carefully. i'm in the left now, but who's to say i wont wonder into oncoming traffic and see who's paying attention? *crosses fingers* no accidents yet

I hope you didn't just jinx yourself
 
I've toned it down quite a bit and usually shift between the dots...makes a difference when you can't find replacement parts easily (or can barely afford them)...

But mostly because I'm trying to appear respectable...good thing some of my posts on here aren't showing up on my truck...
 
Usually speed around but i drive with caution. Offroad its pedal to the medal usually to get through a hole or up a hill.
 
So...................how about focusing all that attitude into transporting the new TRS Banner thru some/all of Alaska...Jim Oaks is looking for volunteers...

Send me a map and names, I gotta make some more money and hell yeah I'd do it!
 
Two points just got erased from my license on 1/1/12, One totaled car, Just drove from Wasilla Alaska to Anchorage Alaska with low idle goin 55 in a 65, vavle popped open and Lilly took off like a F***ING BOTTLE ROCKET!!! I was like OH SNAP! up to 85 in a 65, topped Lilly out at 110 down the Parks highway this past summer. I replaced the shocks in August, already need new ones... and tires..... and fenders.... headlights, taillights.... clutch pack....... lol... None of my friends like how I drive. I drift, I burn out, I race. How I'm not in jail with my truck impounded I have no idea.

Dont forget your f-ed up bent door, aircleaner housing and, and , and, and...:headbang:
 
HEY! Most of the body damage was before I bought it! I bought Lilly for $495 + $70 battery + total parts and repare costs = LESS THAN A THOUSAND DOLLARS! hell yeah! Lilly is my Dirty B**ch. This summer, Kinik glacier and lets see if I make it back. HA! I raced a Dodge 1500 down New Seward high way one night and almost WON! hahahaha... That guy didn't know what he was up against!! HAHAHAHAHA.... I'm pretty sure my shocks are done for because I used to live in BumF**k nowhere, Alaska on a dirt road with pot holes and lots of MUD!!! My truck has been washed...... three times since I've owned it and I've owned it a year on Jan 15th!
