Slowing the car down and then letting it rip, repeatedly. On big sweeping turns, actually cutting the corner across multiple lanes. I was keeping an eye out for zombies from The Walking Dead as it felt like I was in a movie.

Of course, you have to have a bit of fun along the way so we tried a few launches and nailed a 0-60mph with 4 people (kids are 13 and 6 so one of them weighs as much as a Big Mac) in 2.92s—these M-cars never cease to amaze!

Two great examples and with today's announcement by the Governor of AZ of an Executive Order to stay at home through April 30th except for essential services (e.g., food shopping, medical services, etc.). However, parks are open and considered an essential services (staying active to not being isolated in our houses). So I'll be driving to the furthest park from my house on a daily basis to do a bit of hiking but mostly to enjoy the drive.
