I have. Lovely little car. A friend had one and put a turbo on it. It was like a go-kart. It was very fun to drive. Too bad he crashed it. I've driven sports cars too.
First I start with my baby:
2005 Mercedes C270CDI (not exaclty a sports car, but still fast) - total driven - 25000km
2004 BMW M3 (a friend has one) - driven total - 1000km
2007 Audi S6 ( my uncle's) - driven total - 800km
2013 Mercedes SL65 AMG (test drive at MB) - driven total - 50km
2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI (good friend of my dad's)
- driven total - 700km.
2012 BMW 760Li (my boss's car) - driven total - 500km.The other cars of the list are not as interesting. Mainly friend's cars, girlfriend's cars, realtives's cars...
And it's not just cars. I've driven several bikes, two busses, two yachts, a powerboat and a military APC (The APC belonged to a retired military man. He was a friend of my dad's)What about you?

The C270 is my car. Yes, it's a straight 5. I have chip-tuned her too. Normally the C270CDI produces 170hp and 400Nm, but mine produces 201hp and 450Nm.
I love that car. I've also gotten her a front AMG bumper (Better looking) and this year (When I save up some money), I'll get her Bi-xenon headlights.As for bikes. I've driven a few, but I like cars better.
And the mate's miata was the 1.6 115hp one. A bit underpowered, but still nimble. The MX5 is only a ton. That is light.Comment Hidden ( show )

Above average. It takes me about three hours to get from the center of my town, to the center of the capital city. The distance is 330km on a single carriageway (normal road) and with quite a bit of traffic.
I've driven 30000+ km. For me driving is much more than holding a steering wheel and pressing pedals. It's a surge of emotion, a work of art, a bliss of harmony. When I drive, it's like I'm the car. I feel the road. I feel the wind, the engine, the speed and always spot the traffic cop! :DComment Hidden ( show )-

Above average, I'm usually passing vehicles, I don't get close enough to hit anyone, I know my limits better than the street signs the RECOMMEND speed signs around corners and in off/on ramps, and I only go 5 to 10 MPH over limit (pending on road ex. 5mph over city 10mph over highway)

I'm very much above average because I don't depend on all that signaling BS. I pay attention like an unretarded person and always manage to stop on time or maneuver myself away from accidents. Unfortunately there are many goody-goody-two-shoes out there on the street who do depend on signaling and all of that courtesy crap, so they get kind of annoyed about the fact that I only use the tail lights when they are actually necessary. Fuck them.

Below, only because I still have some anxiety when driving down highways and during rainy days(and rainy nights).

I'd say I'm average, if not slightly below. I don't think I am a terrible driver but I am not a great one either =/

Yes. Especially as I see so many people driving badly - not indicating, not looking ahead, no lights on at dusk, too fast, dangerous overtaking... the list goes on.
