I think the whole "don't burn out your clutch!" and "don't engine brake...brakes are cheaper than clutches!" arguments are a little bit on the dramatic side. My Dad has been driving for almost 40 years and he's had to replace the clutch in 1 car of his.

 Of my 57 cars owned I've yet to replace a clutch over 45 years of driving. I've got a friend now with 212K miles on his Audi TT and original clutch.
Most of my Audi buddies are well over 100K on originals.
If you want to play though, you're gonna pay (eventually)
