Never. Good as gold me, butter wouldn't melt in my mouth. Honest as the day is long and most certainly never put the back out on roundabouts. Most irresponsible.
Absolutely, yes .... but then my car's a VW Bora so the outer limits of the handling are usually reached whenever you turn the wheel!

The outer limits of my truck usually come up pretty quickly through corners!!
On the way to work I take this 10 mile road that is almost always empty, I would compare it to a B road back in the UK (twisty with some up's and down's). For a truck it's surprisingly entertaining chucking it through the corners, it never fails to bring a smile to my face when the tires squeal around some of the turns. The worst part is catching up to someone going slower than you, here in the US (at least around this area) most roads have double yellow lines and no overtaking
When I had an Imprezza turbo the whole point of owning the thing was to drive it like a lunatic I've calmed down now and am boringly sensible most of the time, part of growing older is that you realise you can quite easily end up dead.
I used to have the odd "blip" in my Impreza STi PPP... Couldn't help it really - the car just didn't feel right doing 70mph on a motorway.
Coming home from work one day, I was doing about 90 - looked in the mirror and saw an Evo catching me up... Thought to myself - not having that, so put my foot down and took it up to about 135. Funny thing was - the Evo was still catching me up I bottled and slowed down...
Wouldn't consider it dangerous driving - we were the only two cars around, the road was dry and we had three lanes to play with. I'd consider myself a good driver (having passed my IAM and RoSPA Advanced Drivers Association driving tests)
Ah, there's nothing like the old Evo-Impreza rivalry My own view is that the Evo is faster and more hard core, but the Impreza is more usable and easier to live with. I sometimes drive a friends FQ340 and in town it's a nightmare as the clutch is like an on/off switch and the ride quality makes an Impreza feel soft. Both fabulous cars though, on British B roads they'll both destroy just about any other production model on sale, expensive exotica included
