I usually shift around 3k rmp. But when I don't feel like conserving gas, I punch it lol. It's not good to baby a car 24/7. If U start modding it and driving crazy, I heard that's not good, that's if you baby it 24/7. It's good to open her up casually.

If I don't make the traction control indication on my dash light up each time I drive I feel like I've failed.
