Passengers: What to do with them?

I'm just curious to know how you personally handle passengers?

1. The hell with them, I'm driving the same no matter what, it's my car, doesn't matter if I get hit by flying objects or worse
2. I warn them first, then throw the rear end loose
3. Respect, it's frustrating but I use a light foot

Generally, right before 2. I switch my EDC to full stiff, they know someone is cooking.
I'm probably between 2. and 3., and sometimes I get yelled out for a 1.

Can't wait to drive the beast tonight!

I got a pact with my fiance...she can´t scream and she can´t complain if i got everything under control (at least).
The others who may ride with me, they wand things to get nasty!
Usually i´m number 2, but before....put EDC on Sport, that´s the hint of what´s to come!

can´t wait to drive mine too! let´s go!

My boys, 8, 15 & 17 love it....The wild rides usually end with me stating frimly... "Say nothing to your mother of this"

My wife will complain about the speed, apexed turns and aggressive moves in traffic. Only to ask later if she can get me to teach her to drive the ///M.

Here's a sample of how I like to go to work...

With passengers in the car I like to try to drive like a chauffeur; nice and smooth.

When Im alone I try to drive like the transporter.

To Bob: I've never tried the e-brake trick while opening the rear passenger door for an emergency evacuation of the passengers. I should give it shot one day

Give it a try...Works great when dropping the kids off at school...But the Crossing Guards frown upon it.

When I drive alone I keep it smooth and well mannered. When with passengers I drive it like it is a stolen car or a rental!
