I'm a bit mild a bit wild and a bit extreme. I have only lost 6 points and had $400 in fines. But have done about 2 times what i paid for the car in mods. And i love showing up commonwhores and WRecks on my bike.

Wild , except I've always managed to get off every time I've been pulled over.
Including the times I :
Handbraked turned into street that coppers were coming down.
And doing over 100 in a 50 zone doing a big slide around a corner through 2 lanes.
I'm so lucky

i'm mild but not into the "all show no go", I'd either want to go for a sleeper look (so even if ur car is stock I won't look try hard LOL, and they may think the car is stock haha). I don't really care about the visuals of the car, i'd get bigger rims for handling, not for ppl on the street to see LOL!!!

Where would I be then?
1. I'm not afraid of running the stupid redlight near my place when the only traffic is some arsehole turning out onto the main street going the other way.
2. I usually do stick to "about" the speed limit. But it's almost a guarantee I'll bust it by 20-40k's each time I go out.
3. I drive a fwd auto and can slide it around corners. Only "mod" to my car is white xenon gas bulbs and K&N panel filter.
4. I've never had a speeding fine/defect/whatever. Full points always because I know where not to be a dickhead and have a 6th sense about "I'll bet there's a copper over that hill" thing going on.

im mild/wild .
a few fines - know what it takes to make the car move - but dont drive like a git all the time ..
Spent about a half of the value of my car so far on mods - will have equalled the value of the car easily by builds end
the odd fang and fun from the lights, if i know i have a chance of winning , but main serious play will be on track

My car has no engine mods other than exhaust(cat back at that) and good suspension/rims/tyres
i used to drive over the limit heaps everywhere.. then i lost all my points so i drive "normally" any place there could be a copper to protect my 1 point and fang it wherever i know they cant be

I'd have to say mild, but it hasn't stopped the occasional double the speed limit on 100kph roads. I think it's not quite right that driving style is factored in with modifications.
I've so far spent about 3 times the value of my car on it already with more to LOTS more to come, and they aren't all cosmetic, the largest stuff has been engine and intercooler.

i havent spent 13 on the engine i can make a rough list
$2000 mags & tyres
$1000 bucket seats
$800 stereo
$1000 suspension
$500 exaust
$300 gauges
$200 steering wheel boss kit
$4000 full engine rebuild port polish head manifold 350 holley + extractors
$500 steering box
$100 engine mounts
$200 alternator
$250 starter motor
$300 brake master cylinder
$300 brakes
$250 K&N air filter + extreme air filter top
$200 battery
$300 tint then 100 to take it off
$250 new carpet + underlay ive ordered
$100 spray paint for under the car
$1300 for drop tank and custome overflow / window wiper bottles (booked in for the 8th feb)
and then theres still more but you get the idea
and yes i know i couldve shouldve wouldve done a conversion but if / when i do it will be another $10000 venture (i like to do things properly eg new turbo,intercooler,ecu,injectors,plumbing etc) but that wont be for a few years so thats why ive spent the cash on the 4m and at least with that engine i can learn how to do stuff where as with efi id brake shit
sorry for the novel

I am mild. Sit on speed limit all the time unless there is some one who wants to race me. (that deserves it) And if i race it isn't to very crazy speeds.
Yes I have spent heaps on mods to so I agree with the cash and driving style thing others have mentioned.

I should probably revise my rating after this mornings drive to work. I was coming down Midson Rd and some asian dude in a new Rolla Sportivo decides to buzz me so flies by in right hand lane (I was already doing about 90 in a 60). I decided it was on! Back to third, redline, around the corner onto Victoria Rd and dodging in and out of traffic at 170km/h (nearly blew my shocks in half over a bump  ) before pulling in front of him and flashing my hazards. Win0r.

"Wild" by your standards. seriously, if someone wants a go, how do you resist? Still got my liscence, lost 6 points (and this is WA) by totally slaughtering an undercovery through some hills. his AU falcon was left behind (and I'm still running a 4A-C! ) he was pretty pissed he couldn't catch me till I was wafting along a straight at about 80. THEN he bungs his blue light on the dash.

mild/wild
6 month suspension for chirping the wheels, multiple speeding fines, generally 10-15km over limit
usually too worried about cops to drag people off at the lights
stupid anti hoon bullcrud
usually dont have much money so any mods are fairly minor

...The Force generally don't take too well to diesel on the tyres, oddly enough, and it tends to go with rather large penalties...
Myself? Well I've spent over 20 times what my car cost, and I'm still going hard... Have been seen at 160+ over the limit, along with many other things, BUT, I don't hoon through suburban streets, speed on main, straight roads (revenue driveways), and right now I'm driving a 4K with a VERY VERY stuffed 400,000km old traumatic, as I'm trying to get out of the first offence I've ever been caught for (57 over at 4:30am)

i have had a couple of dodgy $50 infringments in WA for minor speeding violations(bugger all over the limit and no record)
talked my way out of a few burnouts, me power sliding around a corner in my dodgy old excel(*ahem* its all in the handbrake)
and cutting across 4 lanes of freeway and in front of a cop car(first day having had my licence )
needless to say i didnt panic, i treated the fuzz with respect and proceeded to talk my way out of them all.
Hooray for clean licences!

I would say WILD, had 4 driving offences in 6 months i guess im lucky with the stuff i do i the car daily. I think its because i drive a camry and cops dont beleive the car can do the stuff in it like i do hehe, and they dont take notice, ive chirped past a cop in the roundabout and he chases the civic next to me haha, if a had a soarer or silvia i would have lost my license ages a ago, i have 3 mates on 6 month suspensions. You know your quite crazy when people refuse to ride with you coz they say " i get thrown around in the seat and you drive crazy " hehe, the added grip with new suspension and wider tyres makes it handle like on rails, but i think i need bucket seats hehe. On Saturday drove 160 on the m4, and today coming from Cronulla about 140 in a 90 zone and overtook a 3 cars on the inside lane (bike lane), take roundabouts 3x faster than all traffic...hmm maybe i am a crazy driver like people say. This car gets a good workout daily and it has 363,000ks, shows Toyotas Reliability .
Remember guys "SAFE SPEEDING IS THE KEY"  .
