Yes, I am having fun at all speeds. Every drive is an event.

It is hard to "fight" the need for speed but considering the impressive deployment of speed traps in my area, I have been well disciplined to use my cruise control (cc) almost all the time (MT has no adaptive cc when I follow traffic I cannot).

I set to the exact speed limit in city limit (+4 winter setup and +3 summer setup to compensate optimistic public readers) and a bit more over in county zone (no speed camera) (+15 winter and +14 summer).

I get the fun w/ the MT getting there even when driving "slow" and ensuring I am in the correct gear w/ proper rev-matching downshifts and double clutch when skipping gears. I typically don't rush my shifts and enjoy every single shifts.

I currently get my "thrill" using my sim racing setup. Not quite like the real thing but fun enough for the price and safety.
