Whats your driving style ?

[SJC]

Well, what is it. Are you aggressive in your sup'ed up 4runners ramming old people off the road. Or are you the one who backs up traffic? Or are you chill, No point in this thread just got back from a joyride in the Rav4 and got stuck in traffic cause two cars hit eachother turning left :/ Which ruined my joyride... bah

 

[kkz]

Relaxed, most of the time. Until someone does something insanely stupid and selfish.

OH MAN LET ME CUT THIS GUY OFF WHEN THE LIGHTS TURN GREEN AND TURN INTO A PARKING LOT 10 FEET AHEAD

 

[NJshadow93]

Yeah I keep MPGs in mind when I'm driving so I drive rather conservatively. Sometimes I get aggressive when passing people. I've hit 95+ before just by getting PO'd at people driving slow in the left lane and stuff like that. I've street raced before; apparently when someone sees a young guy driving, they feel the need to race. No big deal, my V8 shows them who's boss. But I drive conservatively most of the time, keeping the MPGs on the computer at around 18.5+, getting 320 miles a tank roughly.

I like to think I'm driving relaxed but my mpgs disagree. My wife gets much better mileage than I do in it. Maybe I have a bit of a lead foot off the line.

 

[Casper421]

I drive relaxed and the speed limit, maybe 5 over. After the lift and 285's, aggressive driving ended. Its not worth it, especially with gas prices these days!! :redbrick:

Good rule of thumb, keep the RPM under 2000 at all times! You might feel like you're driving like a grandpa but your wallet will thank you!

As long as I keep it below 2.5k RPM, I drive very casually.. windows down, sunglasses on, just cruising.

... BUT, if I hit that 2.5K rpm mark and hear the Supercharger start to whine.. Its over. I cant stay out of the gas! Its a blessing and a curse.

 

[OverTheHills]

Im better in my 4R then i was in my MR2. oh god is boost a bad bad thing!

 

[t4r4life]

i drive my truck like i stole it, redline all the time, jump over speed bumps, 85mph on freeway. and it still got 180psi every cylinder

 

[SJC]

In the Rav4 its foot to the floor after everylight change. Makes a cool noise and makes me happy inside. Plus when it changes gears you feel it so i pretend its a manual lol

 

[NJshadow93]

What year RAV4? I drove an '05 before I got the 4Runner. It drove like a sports car, loved the ride. My sister has it now.

 

[giantsfan]

I am a chill driver usually. But somehow i always get that sudden urge to floor the pedal and feel that jump

 

[SUP3RJEFF]

I've calmed down with old age, but bad drivers that I encounter on the road will often bring out the speed demon in me!

I just drive my solara daily to avoid killing the mileage in my 4runner. I let my wife drive it as a commuter during the week but on the weekend it's all mine. The mpg meter is funny tho. On Friday it'll show 20.5 and by Monday it shows 17. Weird...

 

[034RUNNER]

Aggressive for the most part when in the 4Runner or some other truck, especially if somebody does something stupid, but sometimes I just can't be bothered, though.

People who drive around with high beams or HID's from Autozone get ALL my lights at the very last second, and swerved at.

Someone doing 20 in a 55mph zone also gets the lights.

People are shocked how often I used my horn and how I don't hesitate to yell out the window.

People who tailgate me (although I already am going decent unless someone's up front), get played with; going slow then coming to a stop. Try to pass me and I mash that pedal, wishing I had the Tundra motor more often than not.

People who cut in front of me when they see me coming, and make me BRAKE get my lights as well. I'd be a liar if I said I never passed the person and went as slow as possible, as well.

I don't do any of this in the corvette, though.
I'm an angel, what can I say.

 

[Hyde802]

Im pretty relaxed. Try not to get mad at stuff that I cant control. crap happens :shrug:

 

[SJC]

What year RAV4? I drove an '05 before I got the 4Runner. It drove like a sports car, loved the ride. My sister has it now.

Old 98 Rv4 that has been in a couple accidents. Its totaled, the front end hit a large metal garbage can and the rear end met a Subaru on the freeway. Its slow for the most part but it picks up in 1st and 2nd lol. Handles good too, living in palm springs there are alot of oldies with there Mercedes and new Audi's that go 20mph below the speed limit. But they have a car that will go 200mph. Stupid fun weaving in between them because they dont use "slow lanes" all lanes are slow lanes.

[jspagna1]

I drive aggressively for sure. But I find that I drive my 3rd gen harder than my 5th gen. Just feels like the 3rd gen is more of a truck and the 5th gen is more carlike.

 

[SJC]

Went a little mad yesterday I sped past a cop on a bike and he pulled over the guy in front of me. Then tonight i ran 2 red lights, just when they went red from yellow. I dont know, full tank of gas makes the car feel like it has more power. I know So GaySo Gay
