It's fun driving, you have to be much more alert and anticipate what other drivers are going to do in front of you. I'm getting pretty good at it, I know what other drivers are going to do, before they really do it; California drivers are very predictable, I have to say
Yeah my experience is similar. Car will cruise all day at 80mph without the pedal floored. The car moves right off the line and I don't think twice about pulling into traffic. But then again I'm an ex-Boston driver....
