Haha, LOL. Quit beating on your car so damn hard!! I voted for a couple times a week - as long as everyone understands that by a couple, I mean 4-5 .

i will usually go up to redline in second gear, just to get some aggression out.

I notice a lot of soot all over the backend when I romp on it a lot. Must be the summer blend of 93 gas.

I have been pretty easy on my car since I had my little incident a couple of weeks ago when I bent all of the valves in my car. I think it has seen VTEC 3-4 times since I got it back last Friday. Just kinda paranoid now. I am sure the paranoia will wear sooner or later.

I"m pretty tough on her, but I take care of her too...If I don't redline at least a couple times when I'm out, I might as well have driven my beater!

I'm just going to drive mine into the ground (which is why I don't mind driving to BW for the Expo).
As I mentioned earlier, my A/C went out the other day ... I think the car's trying to tell me something!!
