Don't believe in abusing machinery. While I can commend you for the absolute change in driving habit it would take to drive in your manner at ALL times, I would have to state that I see "abuse" differently than you, I guess. I can't imagine the gunk built up on your secondaries (never been opened, you say), the wear your car WOULD see IF you ever took her that high, now (never been broken in, old materials now would wear something fierce!!), or the mileage reduction you "should" be getting from LACK of use. Considering the powerband of this engine, I would think that you'd be doing ALOT more harm than good driving it beneath the major portion of the powerband at all times. (not saying that you are killing your car.. that wasn't a fixed point of reference, more relative, actually.) Ray Quote: Well Ray, my engine is running just fine at 180,000 miles, and if its gunked up, I don't really care. I didn't buy it specifically for the power. To get the leather interior in the Mystique, the V-6 was mandatory. I drove my BMW 325 for 253,000 miles, never flooring it either or taking it close to redline, and it ran just great. I don't buy you guy's reasons to drive these engines to the extreme. To each his own!! Besides, I'm still getting 30 MPG on the highway. I bought this car purely as a compact economy car, and nobody is going to convice me that its anything more than that.

Bought new in December 1998 for $21,000. 208,000 miles
