How do you drive your F?

I DD mine about 1,000 miles a month.
1% aggressive (sport mode, flooring it through one or more gears)
19% sporty (sport mode, accelerating hard from stop lights but backing off, or making passes on the highway)
80% normal (sport mode off, simply commuting my normal 5-9mph above the speed limit)
My morning commute doesn't lend itself to hard driving. I can get on it a bit more on the way home from work because a take a different route back and traffic is much lighter.

I only fill mine half way... also you have about another 20 miles once your dash says you have zero miles left. Well at least that was all I was willing to push it it could be more but i chickened out.

Aggressive 20% (Not many ISFs on my commute, so there are lots of people who want to try and pull it :P)
Sporty 79%
Normal 1% (Waiting for the car to warm up to 3 bars kills a small piece of my soul every minute it takes)
Daily driver? HELL YEAH!!!

Haha. I was expecting Ferarri, Lambo or Porsche. I understand though. I'll probably do the same once I have kids.

I've been driving about 15k miles every year for the past 5 years, I'm on my second ISF. This car was meant to be driven hard, otherwise you'd buy an IS250 for half the price.
95% driving hard!
5% driving while on the phone, drinking some water, or with a kid in the car.
I average 14 MPG driving 70/30 HWY/city.

I take it out a couple times a week and always use it for long trips or going out. I put it in sport mode and use the paddles, going full auto only when in stop and go traffic. I can't do fast shifts till the oil warms up, and have to take it easy when the wife is in the car, except for merging on the highway. I love to merge.

I'm about 70% normal (too and from work), 20% sporty (running errands) and 10% aggressive (weekend fun). I would drive more aggressively more often because this car feels so good when you're on it, but it's pointless in the overcrowded bay area with all the cars on the road. I average ~23mpg a tank if that's any indicator. I can't ever seem to take her above 3rd gear wide open before I'm staring the bumper of a minivan or hybrid, so I usually end up tossing her in snow mode and going with the flow. Lately I've realized the car is a very smooth operator in snow mode, perfect for ~27mpg work commuting and heavy traffic stop and go.
