I put 2500 track miles and 9 autocross events on this year and about 1000 street miles. Mostly to and from autoX events and bedding brake pads.

Is this a serious question? lol. Car is made to be driven! I have my select roads for fun and harder driving but i also enjoy granny creeping along giving it just enough throttle to slowly get up to speed lol.

Typically I baby mine. Recently on my way to school I ran into some guy driving a brand new TL a few miles away from an Acura dealership. He pulled up next to me and was looking at me for a good minute while driving around 55mph then he started speeding and weaving around cars like an idiot, I guess trying to provoke me. I hate people like that.

EDIT: After I go to the track and beat on it I always drive like a grandpa for the next few weeks LOL.

I love questions like this-- and so many variables. Look at all the guys with built engines, the majority blew the stock one to hell with their antics-- , same goes for clutches with the "Drive it like it was made to be driven attitude"--nothing wrong with that except the 5K+ price tag for the lesson. Beat on any car and it beats back-- drive it rt and it will stay together NP. The car doesnt need to see redline on every trip and there are examples weekly on this forum from Fand F crowd going around a corner "... and I dont know what happened". Grow up , get a grip and drive Normal.

Please don't turn this into a street racing thread or I'll be forced to delete it.

IXmr here and I drive it hard when all my fluids/tire pressure/street condition/traffic are up to par. Other than that I granny it. I live in NYC so that's like 80% of the times
