A changed Man

I used to be a hurry up and get there kind of guy, but now with my HHR I have slowed down to enjoy the ride

LOL
well
i use to belong to a motorcycle club and on the back page they had a list of members and driving styles so if you wanted to team up w anyone you knew what you were in for.
Speed limit
Speed limit + 5
speed limit + 10
Really Fast
Then There's Charlie

especially on long trips- i tend to push the envelope and try to get as much road as i can behind me

longest trip on a motorcycle- houston to hershey PA. 1438 miles. left at 4:30 am and arrived at 11 30. i was pulling a 10 ft trailer w a GL1200 Interstate and i had 7 hours of rain that day. i drive my gl1500 like a sport bike.

im not as bad as i used to be but if i know the area i tend to be a sport driver. if i am in a group of bikes or cars i stay w the group and will go about SL+5.

whether on bike or in the HHR i crank up the music and fly. was a pilot (cropduster) for 13 years and its tough not to want to do 130 all the time.

My style varies depending on where I'm going, what I have to do. Most of the time I would say Soccer Dad though.

You should have posted on that said "depends on the mood". Sometime after work get out of my way, weekends slow and let people look.

Every one seems to be in my way, so i would consider my self "rush hour" with a hint of "road rage". the road is the only place that my temper flares, and that is only people do stupid things, now i dont chase people down or try to get my self killed, but i have been know to let the bird fly.

I selected Mild, which reflects most of my driving...I want people to see what a cool car I have and drool as it goes by. Since I got the CGS though...I am leaning more & more towards the street racer though...now I want people to see how fast my car goes and all they see is a streak of orange.

I'll tell them to get the crap out of the way as I blow by them. SOmetimes, I like to drive slow, but I figure they can look at the car while I'm parked or at a red light.
