My "enthusiastic" driving style means my exhaust doesn't fill with up with water, so I don't get rusty silencers. My brake discs don't get pitted with rust either. My oil doesn't get frothy with condensation. Cats don't block up. Brakes don't seize up.

On the downside, I get through suspension components. Tyres still seem to rot before they become illegal, I'm sure they never used to be like that.

I enjoy acceleration and good handling far more far more than absolute speed, so speeding tickets have never been an issue (since I passed in 1988).
