Welcome! Sounds like you are willing to turn full circle.

I know you may suffer the DT's once in a while.

I haven't modded my CRX much at all: just tire psi increase, pass seat removal; most important is the nut behind the wheel.

On trips, at least once a year, I love to canyon race on some new back highway with tons of sweepers, and some switchbacks.

I let the cars momentum do the work, am still mpg gentle on any uphills, and try to plan for as little or no braking as possible.

Yes, there is a little lateral scrub, but if for the rest of your life you are saving, saving, saving; you have built up a bank account of sorts, so you can still enjoy a bank withdrawal once in a while!

I enjoy it the most when its a strange road I've never been on before!
