What is considered beating on your car?

Why do people seem to think 7k rpm is somehow bad? The factory set the rev limiter at 7500rpm. If that caused the car to explode, they would have set it lower. They're not going to warranty something that self-destructs.

It's not. And by itself neither is Vegas. But if you love on the strip 24/7 and don't use precautions eventually you're going to catch something.

Oh, my DD gets beat like a rented mule. It's very well maintained, but it's a 3-5 year appliance. The day after the factory warranty expires, it gets tossed out and replaced. I'm not looking to go 200k in this thing.
