Hard core is probably a good description. I'm the kind of guy that has to be messing with something most of the time. I'd get bored driving if I didn't have something to do other than "just drive". At 31 years old, married, kids, house, career, and so on I'm not interested in flooring it everywhere I go so instead I've found a different way to entertain myself by seeing what kind of MPG I can extract from the Si. I fully don't expect everyone else to do the same thing as I do and I'm not advocating that everyone should, I'm just figuring out what's possible and explaining how I'm able to do it so others can pick and choose from what I learn if they wish
