Will babying the car cause damage to motor over time? Should I redline the car or is the engine still needs broken in? Also how often should I redline the car if it needs it? My car is a 2010 with 13k miles. Thanks for any advice guys!

Break in the engine and enjoy the car. The power lies at high RPM's. Baby it for what? So you can have fun later?

But I live a whopping 5mi from my office, and my wife works at the same building, so I drive maybe half the time. On the weekends, my car only comes out of the garage if its raining and can't ride my bike.

So the Z is in the garage and a pain to pull out with the car in the garage and a single driveway, plus a damn cul de sac(minimum parking).

I have a 2011 with 15k miles, garaged at all times except for when I drive her. Is that a problem for anyone else?
