What's a freeway??? You guys who live in those areas where you have these things are lucky...I think. Living in the boonies has it's advantages too, I guess.

I must also admit to slowly cruising around town in 2nd at times just because it sounds so damn good or idling thru a parking lot in low at about a 1000-1200 rpm. Doing either will turn a lot of heads, especially if the PE mufflers are opened up some. Okay, I'm a show-off at times. If you've got it, flaunt it!

Well I almost never drive in D on the local parkways. But, with all the toll gates in NJ I do tend to hammer it comming out of those 15mph zones.
Also, when at AC I love to cruize the parking garage setting off SUV alarms.

absolutely. I just got my new flowmaster force II cat back installed and I have been down and up shifting my automatic from 1,2,D to hear it. But i guess I better stop before I need a new tranny...

I drove for a few miles on the freeway last week in *4th* just to hear it wail! I was feeling ornery, so I decided I would make my drive home "spirited" - I'm sure some of the other drivers wanted to kill me (or wanted me to kill myself), but I was being pretty safe. I wasn't even really speeding, just keeping the revs up in the powerband for quick and effortless passing and lane changing... What a blast!

Talk about wood! I got to park on the golf course at Pheasant Run for the Bloomington Gold show this year. We had to drive quite a way on twisty, paved golf cart tracks to get to and from the Forum parking area. FIRST gear, high flow cat and muffler elims. Sweet!
