Do most of you guys baby your camaro/firebird or run it hard and push it to the limits? I do a little bit of both, but it seems after I do run full throttle or spin the tires a little, i feel a sense of regret after, like Its really bad for it. I guess thats just how much I love my car though. Anyone else in the same boat or am i just different?!

dont worry about hammering on her a little man! giver hell! i think its retarded how some people baby their cars ALL the time. stock cars (besides bolt on parts) are not gonna detonate over romping on it.

For the most part I treat my car really good and when I do get on it I rarely go WOT. You just get up to speed way to fast to be safe on the street.

sighh I sadly floor it all the time in my Jeep to get around traffic.. Damn work this summer + driving on the Minneapolis Interstates has made me more agressive than usual. Its because work gets out at 3:30 and ******* everyone elase in the world must also or so it seems, so I just get pissed at everyone going slow. The mornings are fine though and I usually dont gun it.

My car sits in the garage.......
When she is driven, I admit I have a little fun.
I don't beat the **** out of it, just get up to speed very quick. I do love when it barks the tires as it shifts gears. No donuts or crazy stuff. I like to also do the twisties just to the brink of crazy.
