Well I drive conservative about 90% of the time. But I hit redline at least once a day on average, and maybe accelerate hard (without redlining) a couple times a day. It's too hard not to. hehe.

I like to accelerate fast and don’t slow down for turns. I don’t like fast breaking and cruising in high RPMs. I like to race to the speed limit and then go 5mph over.

In the rainy weather I take it easy, when it is hot and sunny out I drive it like it is stolen.

vtec(and essentially redline) once a day, at least. If your not going to drive it, why buy it.....there are plenty of decent, cheaper cars out there.
