So much this

I just get worried about crashing. I've had three wrecks. One last June, two last October. Does the fear ever go away?

I throttled up to 5700 rpm when the red line is 6000 and I blew the muffler right off the exhaust pipe. Now I feel worried just reaching 5000

>mfw owned over 10 manual sport cars in my life
>never reved past 5k rpm
>fastest I've driven is like 125 km/hr

No. I've accepted that while it may not croak before I do, my car will kick the bucket one day. I might as well make fun memories with it while I can

Cars are meant to be driven, OP. A babied garage queen is a miserable existence for any car, regardless of whether you see it as an inanimate object or as something more. So, drive the shit out of your car. Take it to that redline

My dad said at one of his early jobs there used to be this old man who had a classic Impala that he loved (this was in the Philippines so it was a sweet car). It was a short ride to work for him since he lived nearby, so he'd blast his airhorn (probably with like, La Cucaracha or something). When he died and they looked at his transmission (automatic I'm guessing, again, basically a badass boomermobile in our third world shithole), apparently he never even got to third gear, judging from the wear, since he drove like a grandpa.

Engines are like the mighty phoenix. They die but can be reborn again into that fiery existence of driving.

So do not fret about it. Use your car. The BP6D in my miata has over 220,000 miles. The last 40,000 have been driven by me and I whip it mercilessly. No issues. I have another BP6D I am rebuilding and it had 250,000 miles and the crank specs are exactly what they were from the mazda factory.

Yeah, I'm always concerned that it won't start on me or it will break down. Probably because I did a few repairs in it myself and don't trust my work yet, but still, it's a early 2000's Toyota and has never had an issue, so why am I so worried?

I have a mazdaspeed 3 and am always afraid to go wot. I feel like it might blow up and it scares he shit out of me

My car is a piece of shit that I can barely keep running. It leaks everything it can and makes all kinds of weird clicking and whining and clanking noises, I live in constant fear of the engine just exploding one day.
