I think that I am certainly more selective, and I will attribute that to age.
I also do not speed as much as when I was under 50, but this does not mean I do not occasionally put the hammer down. Last week I was closing our summer cottage down for the winter and was able "clean out the carbon" a little.
Hit 130 for a stretch on a divided highway, with great sight lines, and of course no other cars in sight. Launched it (all 4 wheels off the ground) at a favorite launch pad, the roads in the area beg for this sort of silliness.
With my 97 aero maptun/3 getting long in the tooth, a slipping clutch, rusty fenders, it was probably the last time this car was going to be driven hard by me, so off I went. Great fun all around.
