I floor it as often as I can But that ends up being maybe once or twice a week. Since my daily commute is mostly moderate to slow traffic. That leaves me with weekends and the rare occation I go out at night to really open her up.

Daily for sure. Screw $3.00 gas, it sounds good when you romp it down

I am paid mileage for work, so I floor it frequently. Imagine, essentially free gas and a free IS350 with money left over each month for the next one. If I didn't have to worry about tickets I would be on it even more. Really, you are paying for the car each month and the insurance, why not use it and get some satisfaction?

Every traffic light if I'm first. Every day - usually after work but rarely to work. Why have the HP if you're aren't going to use it?

Usually dont have to. I find 3/4th throttle is more than adequate...

I love those freeway on ramps. I have no idea what the wife does but she's got a good story now and then.

Exactly how I drive. I just love the way it sounds at high revs....but the bad thing is that you get used to the speed and you feel like you need something more. Bugatti here I come (if only......)
