How to have driving fun responsibly/safely w/o getting onto a track

Post by LesPaulMan »

Hi al,
What's gonna be the safest way to have fun driving stick w/o getting on the race track? A nice scene country backroad? I drove along Illinois 100 along that Mississippi once and it was glorious. It's a little boring though if it's just straight and just requires me to stay in top gear. I want some shifting excitement and also feast my eyes on beautiful scenery.

Let me know

If you want to push the motor for all the power it has then you can use the a/c on a humid hot day.


With a Versa 1.6 I think you'll be able to be up in the rev range and keep it under 40. Just gotta be safe.
