When you drive your vette, what % of the time do you spend shifting at the following RPM's.
1. 1.5 - 2 K Granny Shifting (me 10% - this is neighborhood stuff)
2. 2 - 3 K It's a vette (me 30% - it's the law))
3. 3 - 4 K I'm gonna drive it like a vette (me - 30% having lot's fun)
4. 4 - 5 K Let 'em know you're around (me - 20% - it is exciting)
5. 5 - 6 K Get the hell out of my way! (10% - just gotta do it)
Therefore, when I drive it, 60% of the time I am, at the least, having "lot's of fun".

Great way to evaluate how much your getting out of your investment...based on your model, I'd say I hit the 50% level. Having said that, I really think my having fun factor is 100%....the other 50% comes from "Looking Good and Feeling Good!"
