I would not worry about it, I drive mine like a grandma 97% of the time. I think the only downside is that your ECU will adapt to your light right foot and retard ignition timing a bit, so the car is not at its peak performance, but no harm should come from it.

My favorite time to really wring out the car is the freeway on-ramp in 3rd gear, it just feels like the engine is trying so hard to get up and go and it makes me laugh every single time. Reminds me of "The little engine that could" - I think I can, I think I can! haha

Thanks,
Rick
