You've never heard of Macross? Wow.

As for the character, could this be Van Fanel from Escaflowne, perhaps?

Macross, yes, but i've not seen all of the series. And, i've only seen a bit of Escaflowne (love the music though), so that isn't it either.

Hmmmm. Asuka, NGE? Bad temper, impulsiveness, overconfidence, attractive definitely, not sure about the rest

Asuka has more of a personality than this guy (who is an off-the-rack shonen hero with no distinguishing traits), and isn't nearly as good a pilot.

Cheers.
I'm kind of curious to see how long it can go before something I know comes up.

There probably are distinguishing traits (and this character isn't a generic shonen-ai), but I can't recall one at the moment. Actually, if I did, it might make it too easy.

Also, keep in mind Wildcard skills encompass a WIDE area, and not just the specific model/type the operator handles.

Not shonen-ai. Just shonen.

Don't feel bad, I would have guessed Max Stirling (but also doesn't have a bad temper)

Drive is pretty clearly meant to reflect a character who can hop into anything and drive it. Hmmmmm.
