Was I being hard on my car?
 

Ok. First I'm going to apologize for this because why I think like this I do not know. It's just the way I am idk what it is haha. Anyway, I did some driving the other day. Met up with some friends and they wanted me to spin the tires. I take it around a turn in first gear and let it get sideways then it jumps to a straight line. No problems. I've done this a few times. I feel like I'm hard on my car when I do this but I'm probably not? Am I hard on the car? Why do I feel this way haha.

:slap:

:burnrubber:

Smell any clutch?

No, seems like normal driving in this car to me :) Iv bounced off the rev limiter, gone sideways, and alot more. These cars are made to be driven hard.

Automatic

First gear ratio is pretty short. I really wouldn't do it in first gear

lolwut?

:fail:

You live in PA, you shouldn't be judging anyone.


Your fine, just drive the car.

Just don't rev it and drop it from neutral to drive.

I have lived all over this country and never owned an automatic. Modern manuals are ridiculously easy to drive in traffic.

Then again I don't skip leg day either :lol:

Well I mean the rpm doesn't get past 6500... I don't hold it to the floor when I do this

Got the auto for the gas mileage.

LOL. You already know the answer to your question or you wouldn't be asking. If you plan on keeping a car for a long time, the way you treat the car will eventually show up in how little or how much you spend on maintenance. If you don't plan to keep it a long time or don't care, drive it like you stole it.

Yes, because over 100,000 miles you will save less then 100 gallons of fuel. That's a whole $375 at todays prices.

Hard driving takes its toll on any car whether it was built for it or not..its up to you to maintain man
