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.

I was actually thinking about this the other day...and my opinion is that spirited driving is above what's usually allowed, higher speeds, a little more aggressive in corners...but nowhere near the car's limit, because that should only be done on the track.

For example, in my community the speed limit is 25. Now I've sometimes gone over that, but there's also these roundabouts in different sections to keep speeding low, and since my car handles decently well, I sometimes take the longer way around to get to those roundabouts to do a bit of spirited driving, but nowhere near where I could land in a tree or something like that.
