Abuse: use (something) to bad effect or for a bad purpose; misuse.
"the judge abused his power by imposing the fines"
synonyms: misuse, misapply, misemploy.
There's the definition. It's up to you to define abuse. I would say excessive launch, burnout, mis-shifting, modification that would affect engine performance negatively, no maintenance, over heating, etc.
Trying to think more, but that's all i got for now. Have fun with the car and keep doing good maintenance and you'll be fine.
