I try to floor it about 2-3 times a week. I normally drive slow but I do it to help fight off carbon buildup

I would floor it a lot in the 250, now not so much in the 350.

Once my car is fully warmed up... She become my little race car. Pedal to the metal everywhere I go. If Ihad a350 Id do the same. Nothing better for an engine than using it.

That's more like fun getaway driver music. Not familiar with fun getaway driver music? YouTube song 2 by blur. You're welcome.

Driving music is somewhere between Vampire Weekend and Zedd. For the most part I cruise from place to place, so Wu-Tang, 2Chains, Cudi, Young Money, stuff like that gets the job done.

Now the type of music we're looking for - you know, driving pedal to the metal requires just that. Metal. Classic Metal does it for me but I wouldn't turn down the likes of Slipknot - you dig?

Don't need to youtube Song 2, I'm quite familiar with it. But that is what I consider fun driving music. Personal tastes and moods will differ of course, so crusing music is usually R&B and rap, road trips are classic rock and alt rock, etc.

Which reminds me, Breathe by Prodigy is also fun to drive to

Even passing up cars entering/exiting the freeway, I don't need to floor it. I accelerate just enough.
Gas is too expensive for that!

Very often, if I don't do it for a while then I'll get that rotten egg smell. Damn Lexus cat's.
