200k + right?

Anything you do to your car wears it down. Nothing bad comes from daily driving, unless of course you crash into a wall. That would suck.

Don't worry about the VTEC wearing out... the whole engine will die a long time before the VTEC pins will wear out, if that can even happen. I' ve never heard of it anyways. Besides, it's a Honda engine, and 200,000 kilometers is only roughly half-way through it's life. Expect that engine to run strong for a long time if it's properly maintained and taken care of.

I bought a gsr motor with 181,000mi on it. I put another 40k on it in the following year and a half. VTEC worked just as good as when i bought it.
