i am usually an agressive driver and i feel like im abusing my car... i have a 05 6mt, with 1100 miles on it. i still havent redlined or anything but i generally shift between 4000 rpm. not ALL the time but probably 50% of the time, as long as im on an open road. is there such a thing as abusing the car? or is it fine shifting at 4k or so.. i know it cant be too good for long term but i plan to get rid of the car by 08 for sure. please dont flame, i am 21 and out of college, bought the car with my own money.

 

4000 rpm isn't too high. I think that should be fine.

 

hey i'm 22 and i drive my coupe like i stole it shifting at 4k RPM will NOT hurt the car.

 

Your still breakin it in man...you should bet doing 2.5-3....but I guess your almost done...by the way I'm 22, fresh outta college and bought the car with my own money too....while other are busy gettin married...I'm busy enjoyin my life!

 

What do you do for a living/ how did you get all that money so young? I am 16, so give me some pointers.

 

Be cool, stay in school. Say no to drugs.

 

i second that, enjoying life now, will worry about getting married in 2-3 years not now. btw i saved up because of my internship at motorola and thats how i could get the car so soon. also i graduated in 3 years so i saved money for a years tuition. work hard and save up

 

drink your school, stay in drugs, dont do milk...
