Default Am I the only one....

I've had my new to me 12.5S for about 2 weeks. I live just off a road with a 60 MPH speed limit. Every time I am about a mile away, I shift the PDK to M, drop down to 2nd and stand on it to redline for the upshift to 3rd and 4th ...then back down through the gears to 1st for the turn...It just sounds so good.

Oh Hell yeah. I also love to drive through my neighborhood in 1st gear and hearing the "pop, pop, burble burble" every time I lift. Wife says she can hear me coming for quite a ways, must drive the neighbors nuts.

This afternoon coming home I had the good fortune of a clear road beginning at the cloverleaf on ramp and for three of the four mile run up the canyon to my town. 100 mph up through the curves is rare now as my area has grown in the past seven years I've lived there and ordinarily there's too much traffic. But today it was sweet to hear the exhaust, feel the shifts and guide the machine through the bends. Yahoo! We're a lucky bunch.

I love scaring the cows, sheep, horses along the back roads I live on. Windows down, activate everything and then rock and roll.

If you aren't doing this regularly, your keys should be confiscated.

Yep, only every day...

There is a train bridge about a block from my place, on my drive home from work I pop the sunroof and drop it down into 2nd for a quick blast through.
