Lately it's just when merging onto highways. I have to cut down a lot around this time of year. First snow has fallen and that left sand all over the streets. WOT on a sandy patch = spinout
I prob floor it once a day

floor it? like just stomp on it and try o put m foot through the floorboards? only when i am racnig somebody (a few times a weekend), only when i am pissed off (hopefully not more than a couple times a month...its BAD to drive mad), only when i am showing off with a friend in the car (maybe once a week?), and finally, only when i am testing out a nw mod (not that often).
so i guess tha answer would be not that much. i mean a drive spirited all the time, but only actually put it to the floor once in a while. besides, i have to be careful where i do that, becuause i have to make sure ther is a gas station around...

Hmm
Me: 0-3 Times Maybe. Depending if I find anyone to race. But I just like the sound of my exhaust at WOT. Nothing beats a set of Headers and a full 3" exhaust and deleted cat. 
Girlfriend:At every d-mn light she hits. LoL

i cant beleive you let your girlfriend drive your car. I wish i could trust my girl as much as you do.
I floor my car like brian said, testing out a new mod which isnt often, showing off, and racing. I dont drive when im mad, i just punch things ..

I hardly ever go to WOT, especially now at college drivin like 2 times a week. My GF has driven it a few times, with me in it, she drives like an old lady, she knows I'll get on her. She has driven a couple of times with out me. Said one time she raced this civic with a body kit, when I had the 305 and beat him. I was like you beat him right, because it was night time and I have tinted windows, and I didn't want him thinking he beat my camaro.

You guys are very reserved in your driving...
Every stop sign, every stop light, and coming out of every corner. I don't do it in traffic, but if nobody else is around I do and where I live this is 90% of the time. Well, I have to confess, this morning I did it coming around some elderly guy in a Tahoe. He got to the end of the on ramp and just stopped. There wasn't anything coming for about 1/4 mile and I had enough room to pull around him so I did and punched it from about 5 mph after I got past the nose of his truck and left about 60' - 70' worth of black marks on the road and a big cloud of smoke behind me

I think its more spontaneous with me. My moods change frequently and so do my attitudes of flooring my car, so its usually just a switch in my brain that says floor it. I think my favorite time to floor it, is when: a slow car is in front of you, going say 25 in a 25 when the norm is like 30-35, i usually stay close, but I love it when they flick their blinker on to turn into another street, cuz the second they have turned and out of my way, I launch the car blazing right past. Its fun, I just use their turn, as an excuse to slow down then tear it up.

well i like to cruz around in 1st and 2nd gear in town cuz i like the sound of my exhaust and my car actually feels fast in those gears
...but also when the road coming into my school parking lot is wet i will usually kick it sideways and hold it for a good 30 or so feet ( im not jokin i can hold it forever cuz they did this gay pave/seal job on the road and it holds any kind of water right to the surface...i lock up my brakes just trying to slow down for the speed bumps!
)
i give a guy friend and a girl friend a ride to school every day....the guy is afraid of flipping and the girl loves it and asks me to do it everytime there arent any cars on that lil strip...lol

I did have headers on the 305. The specs of my engine are in the signature. It's got 8.5:1 compression and a redline of only 5200 rpms. It's not the best engine, but I was in a pinch for money when the 305 decided it had enough.

Yeah, I have to order some more heat sleeving for my wires, I figured 10 ft would be enough. It looks crappy with the red and yellow.
