Never. I'm pretty strict about allowing the oil to come up to temp. Which means high revs on short trips is out.

When I used to autocross on a regular basis this meant getting up early to allow for enough warming up time. On the street, there's usually too much traffic to do much.
And revving the crap out of the engine at 30 mph isn't too appealing to me.
I think the Miata is the right car for that. Nor is speeding in straight lines very interesting.
When you think about it a Porsche is overkill for most of the driving that can be allowed legally or traffic wise.
