 For everyone who didn’t press the back key, welcome. You made it. I’ve never been one for long drawn out FAQ’s so I’ll cut right to the point. If you’re reading this FAQ you probably drive like everyone else. Like a drunken monkey with a steroids problem. But if that doesn’t sound like you… here are some profiles that might fit.
-== Driving Profiles ==
--A- You grab the closest car regardless of who's watching.  You must think that any car will do for anything and that you are invincible. Just as long as the car will move, you will keep driving it.
--B- You're a real gunslinger; you like to have the petal to the metal all the time. You do 120 mph through rush-hour traffic and really don’t care whether you have a black smoke car because, really, "no pain, no gain”, right?
--C- You drive like a 12 year old, on the cell phone, and drinking a soda. You seem to be really good at going straight, which is if you can keep it in the right lane. You prefer a powerful car, because "If I can get a powerful enough car, then who cares if it can turn."
--D- You drive like a drunken monkey (AKA- taxi cab driver). You seem to be all over the road and frequently spin wildly out of control. Everyone seems to be in YOUR way, and you aren’t acting rationally. This may involve putting your fist through the wall or random nose bleeds.
--E- You're always so careful, don't hit the cops. You don’t go too fast for you might lose control.
-Before I get to the real way you should drive, I will be filling you in on some basics.

 :-Blue Groove- The blue groove is the mental line that is made and changed every second. This groove is the one that your mind chooses as its best plan of action. For example, the blue grove for a normal turn would be a sweeping arch.

-: '''-Rational behavior-''' (meaning he/she does NOT use a Ballista Compact to force Big Rigs off the road). This driver is calm and collected in his/her thoughts. This driver recognizes an objective, and collects a rough plan of how to achieve it. (This may be as simple as going down an alleyway in the industrial district to lose a cop trail. But it is a plan.)

+: '''-Situational Awareness-''' This driver makes decisions based upon the situation; not by anger or fear.
+:He/She is aware of the weather.
+::*(If it’s raining, the roads are wet, you have less traction, so maybe a super high powered sports car with a blown out back tire may not be the best idea. You’ll end up with a record number of spinouts in a one mile track. *HINT HINT*.)

A good driver is also aware of the lay of the land, ''I.E.: driving a Buccaneer or a Landstalker ends up being really great if you are driving from point A to point B and you need a car capable of taking high amounts of damage, say… running into cop cars. But these might not be on the top of the list if you wanted to make a clean getaway through back alleys and then make a quick run through the park. So be aware of where you are going whether it is an open stretch of highway or a cramped alleyway somewhere in the dukes.''

 : '''-Mini-map-''' This may be the most useful tool you ever receive. Many people can’t get to the end of the street without one. I am one of those people. Much of the information you need to know is within the confines of a small circle. One of the better features is the built in GPS route tracker, very handy when you need to get somewhere but you have no idea how to get there. Wow, what can't technology do…? Well I have the answer to that too, the route tracker will only actually tell you the shortest LEGAL route to your destination, most of the time there is a shortcut. Knowing them is key to evading cops, cutting your commute time in half, and speeding through those pesky intersections in Times Square. But those you have to find yourself. (I can’t tell you everything, that’s no fun.)
