Default driving your car enthusiastically

you know when you get a new car...you are excited and like to drive your car really fast or do lots of quick 0-60s all in a safe manner.

how many of you still do that even after owning your car for a while now? or do you take all your horsepower and baby it to get good mpg?

The Corolla, eh, not so much, the S2K, only when I drive in secluded areas where if I eff up, I die, and no one else...

Maybe a tree...
