Driving Style...

[MrPaladin]

Since getting a challenger from your past car has your driving style changed?

[Ophthos]

I find it hard to drive any stick slow.

[crash89]

No change.. I drove like a nut before and have no intentions of stopping! :)

[Sk8nsanta]

Uhh, a solid mixture of the first 3 :gy:

I haven't really changed my driving habits at all. But I'm able to more easily avoid to morons on the road with the power of the Challenger. I still have my older car, 4 cylinder, harder to avoid idiots with that one. To most, it probably looks like I drive aggressively, but it's just that I drive normal and actually know the laws, and right of ways and everything, whereas most every one else doesn't.

I have found this car stands out in a crowd much more than my old one, so if anything, I find myself trying to stick to the speed limit more because I don't think there would be any way to talk myself out of a ticket (although it sounds like some folks on here are pros at that)..... :)

My driving style didn't change. I've been an aggressive driver. The difference is it was in a Jeep Liberty before and now it is in a Challenger RT.

My driving style hasn't changed (quick accels and leader of the pack on the highway), but this is the first time i've had a fast car, which lets me be a lot more aggressive in places where I would have normally had to back off.

Have always did big smokey burnouts in every car or truck i owned
if it couldn't pull off a burnout i didnt buy it.
I can still see the the ladys face who sold me my Ram :Wow1:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Driving the Challenger is like riding my bike...by that I mean, I change...I feel more alive if you will. When I need to use the Equinox.. well its just mellow, boring, going to get a errand done, or a means to go to work...etc. Get in the Challenger and its the opposite, I like how it changes me .. how I feel...I really don't have the words to properly discribe it... I thought my bike could only do that...boy was I wrong. Thats why to me the Challenger is more than just a car.

Good post!!

I havn't had a muscle car for over 20 Years. So I have been sort of mellow.
Now, as the Aerosmith song goes "I'm back in the saddle again".

That's why I bought her. No MDS here. :naughty:

I agree with Vin here. When I'm driving my Dakota, it's either for going to work, or for times when I can't or won't take the Challenger. I feel much more alive, as Vin put it, in the Challenger.

My driving style can be considered somewhat agressive. I don't run red lights, tailgate, or cut other drivers off. I do make sure I'm first to the speed limit, after I take my mandatory pause for the people that do run red lights(common in Vegas). I do not like driving with cars directly infront/behind me or on the side of me. I drive like this in all my cars, I guess that's why my gass mileage sucks.

[09ELPHNT]

I guess I drive slower and more relaxed... Being that it's not my daily driver I find that it's nice to enjoy the sound and friendly waves... Typically, I have always been a slow poke in town and back roads; and in free way traffic I am either doing the speed limit on the right hand side or around 10 over in the left side passing. However, on a desolated piece of freeway, I have been well into the triple digits and feel right at home... I guess it was growing up in Europe I learned that there is a time and place for everything.. But for the Challenger, I just like cruising and taking it all in. That being said, I was having a bad day (about 4 weeks ago), and when I pulled out of my driveway (with nobody around) I let the clutch out at 5,000 RPM's (I've been looking for the opportunity for a while).... Weee Haaa!! Needless to say, my neighbor was next to her window when I did that; she called me later at work to make sure everything was all-right... LOL... Just for the record, he left two (beautiful) black marks for around 115 feet; and thats with the staggered wheel package... :)
