This is a point I've made here many times. The French are a fine example. They drive their little Peugeots and Renaults at 90% on public roads all of the time. Every day is track day.

There a lot of cars here you could never drive at 90%. Maybe not even on the track.

I had a 1992 1.6 liter Miata once. Drove it for two years until some teenage malcontent stole it and drove it into a restaurant - through the plate glass window.

Wonderful car. Best shifter I've ever known.
