Tim,
That is the only way to drive that car.....you were correct in assuming I did the same.
I long time ago I made a post regardig why so many people baby these cars, I think it is half the reason people have some of the trouble they do with them.
Hope you are still having fun.....Mike

And before I bought it, I am sure Mike drove it the same way. I know he drove it quite hard. I am keeping the tradition alive. No problems. No burning oil, and a perfect compression.
