Addiction to driving??

Is there such a thing?  I mean i am still in awe with my SHO but with other cars as well, i can't be in the car long enough it seems.   The SHO makes it worse  because all i want to do is drive it.  I don't even care how many miles i put on..

I do not consider this a problem.   However, i do think it could become a problem for me. 

My 5 year old daughter loves the car too so she enables me to take the long way to school and the long scenic route home afterwards.  The drive to her school is literally 2 minutes away from our house.  Some mornings it could take us 30 minutes and one day i picked her up and we didn't get home for over an hour.  School is 2 minutes away ..

i am never late.  My drive to work is approximately 40 minutes depending what route i take, there are several.  i usually leave for work 2 hours early so i can take the longest route possible. 

admittedly, i do burn through a lot of fuel, i don't even care .. LOL

I find reasons to go for drive, stupid reasons.. i sneak out in the middle of the night to take a 2 hour drive to grab a burger from a known 24hr.. in the middle of nowhere!  Even if to drive a curvy highway for 20 minutes iwould drive 3 hours for it..  and plan trips that involve long distance driving ... the list .. is endless. 

Since i have had my SHO all i want to do is drive .. i don't even care to where or how long.  there is nothing i would rather be doing ...

Addicted?  Are you?   ;D :ford:

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

When I was 24, I bought a brand new 2006 Pontiac GTO off the showroom floor.  I was single and lived in Las Vegas at the time.  I put 32K miles on the car in 18 months by driving that thing EVERYWHERE.  I lived 3 miles from work.  I put 500 miles on it on the first weekened I bought it.  I spent a lot of $$$ in gas and tires, but damn did I have fun.  Took it to San Diego and LA a few times, Pheonix, and everywhere in LV. 

Ahh memories.
