I would say I drive pretty hard. I buy fast cars to go fast. If I wanted to drive like a normal human I would be driving something that gets better MPG.

That's exactly my view

I Driver it as hard as good can. Brake boost at stop light go fast around corners. My favorite is getting onto the highway by my House.  4 lane road. 50 MPH zone. Punch it and by the time I cross to the far side of the road and end the turn I'm doing 50

Im actually pretty easy on mine considering.  I usually just poop back and forth to work.
I will play given the opportunity but I dont nail it all the time.
I will throw it around a curvy road tho and enjoy exit ramps.

The highway that runs through the city here is awesome, it's curves (it's called the S-curve), it has a suggested speed, but they don't actually lower the speed limit and blasting through there at 75-80 when traffic is light is awesome.

Well most of the time the wife drives , the only time I get to drive it is on the weekends . I really don't mess with it unless I go out on a country road to do a WOT run or at the track.

That is hilarious. I made an almost identical quote not long ago on another forum. Lol
After how she's treated her brand new CX-5, forget it. That poor car never stood a chance.
