has your driving style changed since owning your 75/zt???
 
bit of a strange question but my other half has said since owning my 75 the way i drive has changed.
apparantly i am now more relaxed and i don't rush around as much as i did with my zr.
has this happened to anyone else???:duh:

When not working and on long trips do just tend to hit the Cruise Control button and relax on the Journey.
rather than racing there.

Funnily enough yes, as I now can't drive, funny how it happened only weeks after the 75 arrived....

Yeah. My eyes keep glancing at the petrol guage. One day I will catch it moving :biggrinsanta:

Now that I've gotten used to the 2.5 v6 rather than my 1.6 megane I have slowed down and enjoy the drive more.

have you found yourself putting on a corduroy cap and string driving gloves?

Tatts 12th December 2008 20:10

Yeah...

When I had the 75 I started smoking a pipe & wearing slippers & couderoy trousers. ;)

When I got the ZS it was tracky bottoms & a baseball cap on backwards. :biggrinsanta:

When I got the ZT it was back to normal garb, but I do drive it aggressively & make full use of the rev range when/where I can.

....as I reverse off the drive.

An absolute YES!! I used to drive ... hard. But now I am reasonably content to sit behind traffic and just enjoy the pleasure of driving. Having an auto is a boon:biggrinsanta:

For some obscure reason I don't feel the need to rush everywhere.... What a car (when she behaves:o)

My sentiments exactly

I now take my time much more than I used to... the car is a nice place to be, so what's the point in rushing? But I think changing from manual to auto is the main reason for the change in my driving style.
