Oh, I definitely agree. I've had my share of fun driving cars near the limits on several GM Milford Proving Grounds tracks, but never my own cars. And now that I have retired, I don't have driving privileges there anymore. I have experienced what it feels like to have a car suddenly and unexpectedly break loose. But thankfully that was on Black Lake ( a huge asphalt lake at MPG) and there was nothing to slam into or off of.

There are a couple places in the Detroit / SE Michigan area where at the right time, with the right conditions, I can unleash the puppy.
