At the time I was car shopping, I was explaining to my girlfriend a few car choices I was considering. Mainly the MS3, Used WRX, or an 08' Lancer GTS. I tried explaining the differences between turbo'd cars..and non. The only conclusion she made from the discussion was always the fact that I had to use premium gasoline.
Anyhow, fast forward to the past 5 month's I've owned the car. At first I would take her for rides on the highway and show her what the car could do. I would mostly gun it in a straight line down the highway in 4th, which would always result in a smile.
About a month ago, she moved from her parents house into a new apartment. From her apartment, there's an on-ramp to 95S. This is the on-ramp of all on-ramps. Twists probably a full 300 degrees down down onto the highway, very sharply. The first time I had taken the on-ramp, she gave me a fore-warning about 100 yards before the ramp that it was hella-sharp.
Naturally, I mildly smirk..and turn the wheel ever so slightly to the left before sharply turning a sweeping right onto the ramp going about 70. Her hand immediately grabs the "oh-s***" handle and starts screaming "Hooollyy shiiiit, we're goiiing to diiiiiiie." The car sticks amazingly through the entire 300 degress (<3 Cobb Springs) and I merge smoothly onto the highway like nothing ever happened. I look over to see the biggest smile on her face, grinning from ear to ear. Needless to say, that on-ramp is a staple of my weekends back home in CT
