short trips
Hey,
I read that short trips are not really got for this car.
I don't drive it much. Basically to work and back.
So on average i do two 7min long trips a day![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
My work is 1 exit away from me and when i hit highway car is cold anyway - so no red lines.
Should i get worried?
(I drive like that almost year - no problems)
Its 04 stock with cai.

i would worry about your driving habits.
exercise the revs a little bit and make sure the car is up to full tempurature. this will keep the air valves from sticking and varnish from building in your oil.
