thanks for the ideas, they're much appreciated. in a tangential way, i think it ties in with the whole "living the moment" thing, so trying to enjoy the ride more rather than focusing on the destination is something i've tried to do, too.
i am definitely looking forward to a racing school in the future, though, ala the AMG Driving Academy (
