Exactly!! Once up to temp you can drive them pretty hard just keep in mind EGTs and oil temps.. with drag racing it's OK cause it's only a quarter mile at a time! Oil changes every 7-10k depending on mileage.. Everyone said using a car every day for short journeys is bad for it but my commute for my entire duration of ownership was 2 miles..  :grin:

My GTI has been more unreliable :(
