Only Jerry uses his as a daily driver. I beat on an 87 LeSabre daily, and Andy has a fleet of vehicles at his disposal.

Likely, the most damage you would do will be to your tires. Runs of 30 to 60 seconds in second gear probably never exceeding 60MPH will not ruin your car. Impossible to measure how much you shorten the life of your car, but it's unlikely you will ruin it.

Big caveat, I'm assuming the car is in good condition to start with.

We did see a Honda break an axle (probably a CV joint) on Sunday. So it's not impossible to break your car. However, 150 of your newest best friends can help you out.

FWIW,
