I specialize in the failures related to the M96 engine, so because of that I am overexposed to failures on a daily basis. We answered 3 failure calls today, most shops don't hear about that many in a year.

Just drive the car the way a Porsche was designed to be driven. Thats not the same as a Honda or Toyota.
Thanks Jake. I was hoping to get some insight from someone who knows these things inside and out and until I read your post, I had no idea that I was possibly putting more stress on the car/bearing. I usually drive the thing pretty hard but it seems like I'm constantly speeding the whole time and I really don't need any more points on my license.

I probably should have contacted you privately, but I thought maybe there might be someone as ignorant as myself out there that didn't know they could be adding stress on the bearing by not running it harder and you could add a little expertise on the subject.

Well I'm off to run the **************** out of it.
Thanks, Jake
