i had a driving job and it blew, nothing but be on time be on time it was not worth it. but now with my SI nothing but pure relaxation, i love to just site in it drive down lake shore drive or drive to the end of I-55, i just love getting in turning it on blasting to some rock pare or dance, and just cruse, not even go fast just nice and easy, and i love when ppl stare at the car and give me a thumbs up or say nice ride.

I used to hate driving. Sure, I enjoyed scenic routes and getting "lost" on back roads. But day to day driving used to kill me. Since I bought my Si, I've been racking up miles just loving every situation.

Even in the worst traffic, with a-holes on all four sides, I'm grinning ear to ear just thinking about tapping it up to 5k and screaming away in second gear--even if I don't!

So, tell me. Am I crazy? Should I check myself in? Should my tailor begin working on the straightjacket?

HAHAH, i feel the same way , I mean the same WAY!!!!!!

No matter where, I just love to drive it.

Nothing like coming off a 12 hour day in a cube farm and getting in that car. The weekends are a blast too, I don't even drive it hard most of the time but enjoy every moment.

Cool thing is that I get a lot of looks too, of course being debadged keeps people curious.

i love driving (auto or manual) in any conditions with one exception..

thats when me shoes are wet and it makes a squeaky sound when i let go of the clutch lol, it annoys the hell out of me haha

but anyway, driving does infact relieve stress for me =p
