Your preferred cruising style

Do you drive around all the time with the headlights on?


Do you cruise with the all the windows open, or do you close'em up and use that AC?


Do you spend more time in the right or left lane?




//my HID's are on all the time
///I often run the AC with the windows open (TX)

depends on the time of day i always have those windows down so i can hear the exhaust and if its hot the ac blowing in my face if its close to getting dark the hid's are on for sure and the system up loud .. i try to spend time in that right lane but i have a heavy foot and find that my crusing speed is just a little faster than everyone else around me. every since i got the 8 everyone is staring so i have to slow down and show em who it is!

Does your system sound worth a crap? I've got a 600w Kicker CVX 10 in a small box that I'm about to put in the trunk. Because yea I do love to cruise to some loud rock.

Since when do we have DRL's??? My HID's ARE my DRL's, and they're noticeably effective in traffic...

Leave my headlights off.

I prefer to drive with all the windows open (but if the wife is in the car she makes me close them and turn on the AC so she doesnt mess up her hair... lol)

Right lane... I drive slow now-a-days. only go 4 mph over on the highway. Have had way too many tickets in my younger years and learned my lesson.

what is the definition of cruise? is it when you drive at 100mph+ and try to dodge those really slow cars on the road? if so then:

driving lights off
windows open on the driver side (just a little so i can breath)
uhm..........everywhere

1. No, only when it's dark. My wife's damn Subaru does that, though.
2. AC when it's hot outside, heater when it's cold. Window open at the bank D.U. and if I want to talk to someone outside the car.
3. I seem to turn right and left about the same. Spend a lot of time in the center lane, too.

Lights off

Depends upon what road. I try for the middle lane.

Windows depends upon how I feel. Down if not on the noisy Calf. freeway.

Lights off.

Windows down with no AC (just a waste imo) and the system bumping. I like to share my Killswitch Engage and Dragonforce with everyone around me.

I normally try to stay in the right lane to avoid tickets although I did get one 3 days ago T.T.

Lights on (everyone does this in seattle for some reason)
Stereo barely drowning out the tire roar (+1 on the dragonforce though)
I open the windows whenever I drive next to a big long truck or something that'll echo
I drive the speed limit, but if i'm accelerating i'm usually doing it quickly. I make fast little bursts of acceleration to pass (gotta love that torque )

BTW: Ivory, your car is hot.
