Your only using full boost 5 seconds per day! Holy crap Batman! My car lives on the boost! Especially at the track!

Man. There's just no where to do it. I pass at least 2-3 cops in a 20 minute drive to work. About 4-5 times a week, I also pass a photo radar unit. 20% of the intersections have some form of photo cop. I get stopped at half of the traffic lights on the way there. There must be 10-15 traffic lights. The freeways are all backed up.

Given all of the above, there's no way to use much more than 5 seconds of full boost on the streets around here without looking like a real a hole and pissing off all the rednecks and wanna be cage fighters. With my luck, they'll follow me to work and key the crap out of my car when I'm in the office. Partial boost, that's another story.

The only hope would be to go out in the country some where on the weekend. But, with a family and three businesses, I'm lucky to get out and take the racecar to the track 6 weekends a year.

Strangely enough though, 5 seconds of full boost, and 40 minutes of varying levels of partial boost works just fine for me. Heck, with stage 4gt, partial boost is faster than 99% of all cars on the road any way.

Don't get me started! It's 110-120 four months out of the year. Over 100 another two. Once the weather turns nice, every Harriet and Claude over 70 shows up in town and clogs the streets. I friggin hate it here and will be moving in no less than 2.5 years. But, business has me anchored here for now.
