How do you use your car?
I'm curious, what is your choice how you use your car? With so many different options of the hobby these days, what is your choice?
Spirited street driving?
Drag strip?
Autocross?
Drift?
Roll racing? (including standing mile/half mile events)
Car shows?
Daily driver only?

Good post! My car is a daily driver with track oriented parts that I put in use for spirited street driving. And to be honest, you have to drive aggressive in the DFW.

I used to race mine. It's slow/stock again, so she's just a daily driver now.

Not anymore. Just a canned VMP tune and the stock airbox. We even took the long tubes off.

Of course I've only drag raced it twice, once at an actual drag strip. Other than that, it's my DD with some spirited driving and AutoX mixed in.

Track primarily. Road race is what the car is built for and puts the most miles on. After that, I drag it a little, standing mile, and an occasional auto-x. Maybe gets daily driven once a week, but now I tow her to all the events I go to with my truck.

Very true! DFW traffic is nuts. I was on 635 the other day and it's nuts over there! That construction is crazy and people still driving with no care at all!

I've always wanted to learn car control like that to be able to slide a car around, but I'm too much of a sissy to abuse my car like that. I've gotten old and hate fixing stuff cuz I broke it! lol
Plus the expensive wheels on my car really discouraged me from trying it. My 5.0 is the most gently used 5.0 ever. lol!
Now my CTS-V on the other hand, I think is a natural drift machine. It's completely useless on these Kumho tires and easy as hell to slide around!

Mine splits daily driver duty with my '65 Mustang, and I use it as stress-relief when I've had a bad day (nothing like blasting past a moron texting on I-35).
Someday, I would like to drive up at Eagle Canyon.
