releasing the pressure

for almost 3 years that i got my fc, i've always been afraid to drive it "properly" (afraid of the supposed bad reliability, afraid that the car feels heavy, afraid of the reparation costs...). This summer i had a little problem with my girlfriend and started to take the habit to take the car on a road next to my place and try to push it hard. Finally now i love the fc chassis, it feels just so... efficient, and the sound... and everything...

I know i have absolutely no skills at all, but it feels so good when i drive, maybe you like it also.

I used to take mine to the local Autocross twice a month or to the big road courses every few months to relieve stress. Those are the only times I feel relaxed and free from the problems of daily life.

Would be great if i could... Here there are maybe 2 or 3 trackdays organized per year in the area. And i'm style scared of having to change the tires, brake pads and oil after the last session... Would be a big budget to me...

I have a secret spot where I do the same thing. Drive and forget all the stupid sh....t going on. Driving around on the roads in Dallas makes things even worse lol.
