I love it here in the Dubai, I travel 300+ days a year and get to work in some of the worst countries in the world - what an adventure, beats the hell out of bungee jumping! Best thing about Dubai though, the wife and daughter get to live a very safe and fruitful lifestyle, when you're in Dubai it's like not being in the Middle East.

And thanks pal, I appreciate that. Now if I can get my car finished up (hopefully October) and post some pics I'll be as happy as a camel at an oasis.

I drive it hard most of the time and like to take sharp quick turns. Keep trying to force myself to slow down but its hard to do. Still its all in control and dependent on the road / traffic conditions. I hate argent rude drivers and definitely not one of them.

its depends on my mood.... and if im in a rush.. but mostly ill just cruise along

I used to have a SL 500 and still have a bimmer 540i and used to push them hard as i like speed and had the open roads to do it. Now with the CLK the ESP is always flashing as i dont feel the same power anymore. First I bought it for fuel economy (go to work...) but now its my favorite one..hehehe fun to drive for a 6 cylinder.

4.5MPG on the way to work this morning.

+1

lol......thats like redlining or pushing it for most of your drive to work. was that the best part of the day

I used to push it really hard when my friend got his g35. I used to think my 350 was very fast because I could keep up/beat my friend depending on reation time. Then I hit the drag strip for the first time. After Seeing monstrous super/turbo charged muscle cars that have their front chassy lift up at launch, I was like damn my car isn't even half as fast as those. So I slowed down my driving until I get one of those AMGs. Anyways it's always safer to go slower and a big plus with girl(s) in the car. But my definition of slower is 5 to 10 mph above speed limit

some of the girls say i drive like an old man and thats about 5 or 10 above as well lol i guess they like speed?

Haha I guess rev higher to scare them. It seems that noise scare girls more than speed. I was with girl who thought I was speeding because I was delaying my shifts at 4k rpm when I was barely going 30 mph.

Isn't traffic kind of slow up in norcal? People barely go as fast as the speed limit when I was there. Down here, it's like a norm going +10 of the speed limit.

hmm traffic usually moves +5 or 10 above on the good days. chp up here is notorious for pulling ppl over especially in the san mateo area.

haha i was in LA recently...definitely loving the flow of traffic minus the times where i was stuck in traffic. but +10 is the norm and 85 seems to be fast lane. i could definitely get used to that.

haha LA is usually traffic-ed up pretty badly and bad roads. I hate LA that's why I live in the OC.

Those women must be amazing over there..

I chose 50% of the time redlining although that's not anywhere close to how often i push it. I didnt wanna chose grandpa either, though.

I stretch my car's legs on weekly occations. Just to try to blast some carbon buildup or varnish out of my engine and exhaust cams. They say a redline a day keeps the carbon away.

damn i hate dynos avatar! LOL

Lol Sorry?....

what is it that you find werd??

Fun to drive for a 6 cyl...

just wondering, do you guys change gear manually?

I enjoy every time when I go uphill, I feel the power.

i usually do it to get out of binds or during a race. lol but on the occasional uphill, i do it a couple of times too. SF has too many hills tho and i dont wanna kill my gas so much. lol

yeah my other engines were 8 cylinders. dats y i said that for a V6 its a nice engine (fuel economy, a bit of power...)

I thoroughly enjoy dropping the hammer. I only really do it when i race people, ill usually race anybody. I beat a brand new Camaro SS from a 40 roll and from a dig last night

Shouldn't you be driving a 6-cylinder diesel? To save the planet, and not have to support so much BP oil profits?

Now now....

ha wow you are a bad *** arent you....love the **** talkin on the forum...stfu or come to chicago and find me. ill be the one strapped with the S&W .357, douchebag.
