So for the most part, I tend to baby my car on my daily commute but everytime I get on the highway I drive like I stole it. I don't use highways that much to get around so I'm always inching to floor it!! lol.... Wonder what you guys do? I wish I could take my ride to the racetrack like some users here do

 

I am much like you - I generally drive gently but then when necessary or on the highway I drive it like I stole it. I just love the V8 roar on the highway.

 

Drive it like I stole it.

The E550 is quite refined and composed I'm sure it was a white-collar theft.
My C63 is more like a car-jacking that occurred while fleeing a liquor store holdup gone wrong.

 

I tend to push it most of the time. Most of the time it's free! Cost me $113 last week and missed compulsory licence suspension by 3 kph!

 

Like I am on my way to Golden Corral after watching re-runs of Gilligan's Island. My diesel drives like an old freight train and I'm light on the pedal.. so the car lumbers along while the engine makes a chugging sound. I really like the steering feel the extra 300 lbs adds... I'd compare to driving an MRAP in Afghanistan (not that I've ever handled one.)

 

I always drive in S mode .I like to take my foot off the gas pedal and coast when coming close to the traffic lights .Mostly quick take off at the lights is what I do .I don't mind going faster but accelerate rapidly

 

Around town I'm very easy on it. Not to say slow, but I drive it like a paying passenger is sitting in the back of a limo. On the highway I'm normally cruising at 80 mph or higher.


It's not really the type of car to drive like a teenager would drive his first car. As mentioned above, the C63 would be different.

 

I have an E63 amg, so ..... do I drive it like I stole it? Maaaybe

 

Since I repaired my cars for many years, my motto was "Drive it like you have to fix it". My wife is the family car thief.

 

I drive pretty civilized around town, too much traffic to push it. On the highway is a different story at times. I do love the V8 when it starts breathing heavy.

 

I normally make and effort in clearing out carbon deposits on freeway on ramps

 

^^^That is hilarious^^^

 

Hahah

I freaking love ramps!!

 

I always thought that I wasn't enjoying my car as I should but seems like everybody drives the same way so I don't feel that bad now lol

 

I drive the 63 and hang on for dear life... If not for the nannies, awd and common sense this car can kill people... Holy torque!!!!

 

Highways on-ramps, pole position at the red light, taking a right turn from a stop when my family isn't paying attention - all are the perfect time to floor it even if it is only up to the speed limit.

Use it or lose it.

 

Ahhh... freeway on-ramps... my greatest pet-peeve when it comes to other drivers... why do they not understand that the on-ramp is built so that you can get up to speed so that when you are up next to the freeway, you are at least going the same speed and you just have to merge?

Merging onto the freeway at 45mph when the freeway traffic is doing 75mph is NOT fun!

 

Most the time, I drive like a grandpa........
Until someone cut me off...I'll drive it like I stole it and cut him back!!!!!!

 

Driving around town I just pace the rest of the traffic. Too many traffic lights and little old ladies doing 25 mph in a 40 mph zone. Not exactly an environment to open it up safely.


On the open highway, I try real hard to keep it under triple digits as much as possible. Love the on ramps too!

 

i feel you!!

 

Like I stole it, when I want to relax I will get a Lincoln Towncar!

 

I drive really slow. 45k miles and no issues though so I must be doing something right.

 

Let people cut you off. Dont race up freeway onramps. Play around when nobody is near or even will think your trying to race.

Exhibition of speed/physical altercation/speeding/dangerous; Not worth it.

On the freeway I attempt to use 5th as much as possible since the cruise feels the smoothest. MPG Doesnt really suffer. I will shift down to 7 for downgrades and what not; Still got 39mpg on the way to work today;

THEN during the city (unless i have a passenger of precious like nature) I will definitely sprint from light to light. I still get >20 no matter how hard i drive, and averaging 20 mi(20-25mpg) city with 50(30-40mpg) mi hwy per day it levels out at 30-33 on the 'start' meter.

I like the diesel because the entire power band is available in regular driving scenarios. The 63s are mastercraft future classics in the making if taken care of well. Preventative maintenance; An ounce of protection is better than a pound of punishment. Fluids, Mech service and listening carefully is the key to driving hard and feeling good about doing it. The cars are built to run and are thermotested beyond normal human operating measures; however... its when cars are babyed, oil left to sit, and THEN driving hard like its 'stolen' when problems occur.

I drove it like i paid for it, and fast as ****. I have not gotten one ticket yet since i started driving at 15. It is most certainly do to the way I do it. Proper scenarios, not risky, not in race inspired driving toward other people; Cops hardly look at me, and even when i was doing things i shouldnt in my youth they never bothered me much

My goal as a driver is to get to where im going alive, and to help assist others do the same; Trucks, nannies, old people.. You are ambassadors to a brand that has a stigma of people being stuck up that drive them. Take the initiative to let someone go, or assist the merging of smoeone you could EASILY pass. And when you do exhibit speed, dont do it in someones face.

Dont forget, even the 63s are a fraction of a second quicker to equivalent other brands supercars; the track is the only place you will ever prove your car/skills outweighs another person . Most races on the street are won in statistics and pedal/streetlight responsiveness, before even pulling off. *Yawn* just have fun and drive fast if you can =D

 

I keep the mpg gauge on the center stack so I can be mindful of the gas I burn but I do also tend to get it up to 70 fairly quickly without too much thought, it's just that smooth. I do however tend to whip into corners a bit, she stays fairly flat and the 18" tires grip very nicely. For a big car, it handles beautifully. It came with the sport option so the ride is a bit more firm which suits me fine.

 

Mild to fast around town but 90+ on trips across the desert. Try to stay away from jack rabbit starts and heavy braking and usually succeed I have the sport version and am amazed at how well it handles in the twisties. Not a sports car by any means but very nimble for its' size.
