Worrying about a "$500 consumable" doesn't mean that you "are in the wrong car," it just means that money doesn't grow on trees. Some people worry about gas prices increasing by 10 cents, even though realistically their lives are affected minimally. But it doesn't mean that they need to ride a bicycle.
There's nothing wrong with doing what you can to delay the need to replace a wear-and-tear item. Otherwise, you might as well not rotate your tires and just do burnouts and drifts on your way to work everyday, if $500 consumables aren't a concern.

im not saying it isnt a concern. im just saying that the cost of replacing a clutch isnt a strong enough reason to heel toe. its not even that its $500. clutches wear and im not really sure that not using the heel toe method will save any measurable clutch life. maybe ten percent so youre maybe looking at replacing the clutch months earlier saving $50 worth of use. i dont think using the clutch wear is a valid argument either way.
