The car is barely warmed up by the time I finish my morning/evening commute. Where I work, every car has to have stickers on their windshield to get through security, and everyone lives in the same area (so everyone knows where I work and my car is easily identifiable). If I was to drive like a bat out of hell, I can be assured I will hear about it from someone higher up. That's the problem with having such a unique car - you can't blame your antics on anyone else... although it was nice when I had two that were almost the same color, and I imagined pulling into the garage and closing it, and displaying the one with the cold engine (so it couldn't have been me!).
So how do I show restraint? Other than upholding my rule of always driving the speed limit or less in residential areas (kids do some VERY dumb stuff), I don't want to: damage the car by running it hard before it's warm, get fired, get a ticket, and I have a good self-preservation instinct. That's about it.
