How often do you hit the rev limiter?

I guess I don't get the whole bouncing off the rev limiter is cool thing. I'm thinking maybe this started from video games that have you hold the throttle down to the rev limiter all the time so the younger crowed started thinking it sounds cool. I think the drifting people do it a lot to. Most people do not think it sounds cool. It sounds like someone who doesn't know how to shift or missed a gear. Have fun with that I hope you have deep pockets for the rebuild. Engines are not designed for any longevity under those conditions. Yes I do bring my car up to 5k to 6k on most drives and love sound and feel but as soon as the power starts to fade you shift. You don't keep holding the pedal down until there is nothing left. There is no gained whatsoever in doing that.
