i seriously doubt it.

i've never beaten on a car as much as i beat on this car every time i take it for a drive. i miss a shift and grind sycro's at least once for every 2 hours of driving, and that's a very generous assumption. it's probably more.. i genuinely expected my clutch to blow out by 40k miles. at 50k, it's still working, so anything after this is bonus time.

other than a squeaky clutch fork, my car drives the same now as the day it came off the lot, only difference being that i'm more confident wielding it now than i was back then.
