>I'm not a big top speed guy, though.  I like the twisties.

I'm like that, too.  I prefer to get a good headstart, of the line, when
the light turns green.

In Evansville, the majority of lights, on major streets, are timed so
that when the opposite lane's left turn signal turns yellow to red, I
have five seconds before my light turns green.

I silently count to five, then punch it.  My Corvette only has 243
horses, so there are a lot of newer cars that can give me quite a run.
My main edges are the lightweight body and fat tires.  Well, that and
the jump I get by timing the lights.

After I get in front of the pack, I then keep it at a reasonable speed
and let the others catch up.  However, I try to stay in front so that I
get to be first in line at the next light.

In case you haven't been in Evansville, IN, our Lloyd Expressway is
littered with stop lights.  It is a national joke.

Then, I like to get back out to the country roads and glue those fat
tires to the curvy passes.  I like to see how much I, and the car, can
handle on those zig-zag roads.  (Safely, of course.  I never do this
when there is oncoming traffic.)

With the top down, in the summer, it's the next best thing to sex.
