Be careful out there bro.... lots of stupid drivers out there.
I'm the epitome of good driving, GJ. Don't you worry about me. I'm good at this.
CLE = Cleveland.
Everywhere.
I'm just amazed you can tell so much about my driving from my rotors. Rotors...are wear items. Driving a car the way it should be driven isn't "molestation" imo. I don't drive like an old man and, God willing, I never will.

Just out of curiosity, what sort of fuel economy are you getting?
No one would mistake "...very aggressive. Not gonna lie." for driving like an old man. And without getting into the semantics of what "aggressive driving" means, maybe you can explain what Driving a car the way it should be driven means? Can't imagine how anyone here could misconstrue any of your posts!
Current reading on the dash is 22.1 MPG. Horrific, I know. Never cared about MPG as I've often said here, too.
Driving like an old man: cruise control doing 55 in a 60. YOU KNOW THESE PEOPLE. My father in law is one.
Driving a car the way it should be driven: not being afraid of WOT (wide open throttle). Not being afraid to drop my foot to the floor when I need to. That's how a car should be driven, imo. I don't "get on" my brakes often at all because I am an aggressive AND SAFE driver.
I am the passer 90% of the time, rarely the passee.
Not sure what there is to misconstrue. I enjoy driving. I enjoy passing people. I enjoy zipping in and out of traffic: safely, always. I will never be the guy the cuts you off. I'm not the guy to cut in front of you with only a few feet to spare. I'll pass you, but with a wide margin. I'm respectful of others on the road. I'm not a jerk on the road. I am blind in my right eye from a car accident in childhood (mom driving) which is another reason I am hyper vigilante with knowing where everyone is.
I know what a car accident can do.
And now, if you don't mind, I'd like to change the subject. I feel like I'm jinxing myself!
What about colored rims on cars? Like red and blue. How do y'all feel about those? LOL

I call myself more of a spirited driver, not an aggressive driver. I say this because when I think the term "aggressive driver", I think of assholes riding people's asses and doing jackass moves on the road.
Anyway, you and I probably 90% drive the same, the only difference is I do not enjoy zipping in and out of traffic. I do enjoy passing, but rapidly changing lanes multiple times is just not my thing. Only if there is a clear opening to the front. If not, then there is no point.
Anyway, I agree with the rest. I put the pedal to the metal every time the stop light turns green and I'm in front. Full throttle till up to speed. Same with on ramps or merge lanes. Out here nobody cares if you are going 5 over. 10? Eh, iffy at that point with some cops.
Biggest pet peaves are people who barely get up to 45-55 by the time they need to merge into a 65 freeway and they screw up traffic flow for everybody, or people who start braking for a light a mile away. I am hard on my brakes probably because I don't do this. I brake way closer to stop lights than most, still stop at the same point.
I do not ride anyone's ass, I always try to just find open space on the road where there's no one else around me as much as possible.
I never use cruise control. Takes away from the driving experience if you ask me. Didn't use it at all on my last 2 trips. Denver to San Francisco and back, nor my trip from Denver to Santa Fe and back.
CX-5 is not made to be a granny driver. Have fun!
As to colored rims...the last blue rims I saw was someone with plasti-dipped blue rims and frankly they looked like ass. Seeing them in person was enough to know I never would want to do that.
Even if I’m at the front of the line (which happens often) I rarely ever put the pedal to the floor unless physically needed. I like to just use the mid-range torque to get up to speed (past the speed limit) instead.
