Hard driving. Longtime effect?
Okay so Im 16 and I just got a Acura Cl 2.2, and I drive, well I guess you could say CRAZY(but safe). Anyways, my question is-
1. I floor it Alot, will this have any effect on my car?
2. I also take fast, tight turns, will this effect anything?
TY in advance!

Re: Hard driving. Longtime effect? (Cluser)
The way you treat your car has almost everything to do with how long it will last. If you beat on it all the time it wont stand up to it. The car wasn't built to handle that all the time.
Take my advice and slow down. Especially since you are 16. You can't safely drive fast with the experience that you have. You will wreck it or blow it up pretty quick if you keep that up.

You don't need to red line an engine to damage it. Hard driving causes heat. High heat causes high friction. High friction causes more rapid wear.
As for your 90 degree turn at 40, if you did that and hit my truck, because you obviously have no clue how to handle your car, you wouldn't make it home to tell mommy and daddy what you just did.
It is brats like you that wrecked my BMW. You hit the wrong person (i.e. some one like me) and you wont have money and neither will your parents for a very long time.
Slow down, you are not a race car driver, your 2.2cl is not a race car. You CAN'T handle high speed driving. Stop trying to impress people before you ruin your own or worse yet some one else's life.
You continue to drive the way you are and your car will be wrecked or not running before the end of 2007, mark my words, it will probably be sooner than that.

I was hit by a drunk driver once. Then I got a nice retirement account set up shortly there after. Funny how that worked. It will screw you.

Good call. As sarcastic as it most likely is. See you on the Darwin awards for '07.

Re: Hard driving. Longtime effect? (Turbo_y8)
Your the reason my,(and other kids) insurance is so high.
Theres no need to drive fast on public streets.
I take it you like taking turns? Go sign up at your local autox, its a fun and safe way to learn your cars limits.

That's a relatively COMPLETELY ridiculous question.
I've got some turns over by me that are 90 deg that you can take at 55 mph with nothing but a little understeer. I also have 90 deg turns over here that because of road-width, if you don't take at < 30mph, you WILL be off the road.
So it matters a lot on the road, composition of the road, lane width, road width, total diameter, etc.
With that said.
As the first person said, the way you treat your car is almost a direct correlation with how long it will last. True, a ford won't generally outlast a honda as to why I say "almost" instead of "is."
Flooring it a lot has negative effects on your car, it beats on your motor mounts, and if you have an automatic tranny, puts extra stress on your tranny (with a manual you can regulate it, but it still puts stress on it - though not as much by a longshot).
Assuming you're using the stock suspension, it's extra stress on the shocks/springs. It's also extra stress on the arms regardless.
No matter what you do it's extended stress - it's just up to how aftermarket (or lack there of) parts can take care of the punishment or not.
It won't last long though. Not because the parts can't handle it - because you think you're god behind the wheel of the car and you'll end up throwing it off the road.
Oh, don't bother telling me you won't, not in the mood to enforce the truth - 'tis why insurance ratings for kids your age are as high as they are.
Don't worry about it - continue on the path you're on - either you'll expletive something up or you'll crash - the crash'll happen first though, and it WILL happen. Or you'll have an epiphany after a close call and stop driving like it's an autocross event. Either way everything'll probably be peachy unless you smack another driver.
Cheers, and Merry Christmas btw.

That statistic is the fault of the consumer. More new honda owners do their maintenance more regularly and more on schedule than almost any other new car owner. If taken care of any car can last forever.

For what? An Enzo? Some one made a mistake somewhere down the line because if you do in fact have a clean record you should have cheaper insurance than me considering you drive a Honda and I drive a Lincoln. lol

True as it is that any car can last forever, it's more of a decision as to when you decide to pass the car on that it's dead, at least 9 times out of 10.
That statistic isn't only at fault of the consumer.
A few of my friends have the new mustangs, some V8's, some V6's.
They're pieces of **** in my humble opinion, and you're talking to a long time domestics >>> imports guy.
They're pieces of **** and cheaply assembled. Now the civics aren't made much better but assuming one person drives a mustang and one drives a civic and they take care of them both the same and drive them both the same, the driver WILL put more money into the mustang.

That's normal for his age, give him an "at fault" accident and he'll be riding 1800-1900 or so / 6 - then things get really interesting.

*sigh*
Get off it - it's 100% normal for now, in his state, at his age, and his car.
Your insurance drops as you age, though you really don't get a big knock-off until you get to 21.
