I've remember it took my 1 hour or so to get use to the clutch point of my cousins old MR2,
but I figure ridding a clutch a bit for an hour or two can't wear down the clutch that much.... can it ?

no,it should last much longer,and yes! ''riding" the clutch can,and will cause pre-mature wear!

very true! shift and get your foot off it! put it on the "dead pedal"

true! and maybe longer IF it is NOT ''SLIPPED"
If you or anyone you know is replacing clutches at anything even close to 80-100k, that person either didn't know how to drive, or the clutch was a turd from day one.

this is true! it is possible to get a bad clutch,however usually what "wears" out is the 'throw-out" bearing,but this generally happens over a very long period of time!
