This is exactly how I feel about the situation at the moment. I drove the car very conservatively for the past 5 years I've owned it, occasionally had a bit of fun on snowy days but apart from that, in hindsight, I wish I had enjoyed the car a bit more. I feel like if this could have happened to me, it could have happened to anyone.

I don’t know, maybe it is, it’s hard to tell how high you are reving in the video.
I will try to upload a better video sometime soon, this video was taken in an underground parking lot at my workplace, so a lot of echoes and reverberation. It's a manual, in the video the knocking sound started at 2000 rpm and I didn't go past 3000 rpm.
