Well im completely not good with cars, my dad keeps telling me that engine will break if its used at full throttle, hes saying that pistons and all that steel inside will break. I'm 16 right now, ill buy a car in 2 years, and I'm afraid that it will break if I drive it fast. My friend's dad has a very good car thats been running hard for 1 and a half years with no engine/tranny problems, so I'm asking my dad to explain that, he comes out with it will break soon. Can anyone tell me the lifespan of an engine, and what needs to be done to make it run good for longer time, thanks.
