Thats not really bad or good, that's called ABUSE! When something breaks, don't wonder why. Downshifting properly for extra power is not as bad as downshifting to slow down, instead of using that lovely invention called BRAKES!
Keep the racing at the track, that's all we need is some body(not saying you) thinking they know how to drive @ high speeds when they can't drive for shit.

My buddy was at the track running one night & he's like guess what I did? I said what? He said I ran while I was on the cell phone. I was like OK your a fucking idiot. he says why? I say exactly . . .Cell phones and driving should be banned. At least drunks are trying to pay attention, now you got people trying to text message & drive. Sorry to bring this O/T.
One more thing. Instead of wasting money trying to make cars a big pillow during an accident, they should stick that $$$$ into NATIONAL driver training & not give a license to any one!
