What's your definition of "spirited driving"? Options

[_mikeE]

So, my best friend and I were talking and we came upon the topic of "spirited driving" and gave each other our definitions upon it and came up with the idea that we should both make a new thread on each other's car-forum site.
So my definition of driving spiritedly would be something similar to driving on roads that aren't so busy/secluded and driving hard and doing so to perfect one's driving ability and for the joy of doing it.
My friend's definition was simply driving whichever way you like, as long as you have the joy behind it.
Some others' input would include, "spirited driving is straight up cruising on the highway. The ones i am talking about are those that go through the mountains, the ones that noone ever goes through. Bring a cop radar and smash out on those roads for fun with the music full blast"
"Mine I guess would be when I get off work at 5:30 or so AM especially on sat or sunday morning. Theres no traffic, the exhaust is humming, its chilly, but not cold, the highways are all mine. No cops, no traffic, just me, my car and the sunrise, sunroof cracked open."

So I was just curious as to what your views of Spirited Driving might be.

The only way to really enjoy a car is pushing it to the limits where its life and death. Fear is like a high that you sometimes crave to really enjoy the fact that your are alive after all. I think racing around the mountains and corners with a buddy who actually knows the road too is the best. One simple mistake could cost you your life.
