I 'bounce' the rev limiter once or twice, then switch gears. No, I do not hit the rev limiter without load on the engine.

I like to make sure my 60 mile commute a day isn't only filled with 3k rpm driving for extended periods of time.

I suppose you will also have something to say if I tell you I don't garage my boxster and that I drive it in the rain? I enjoy my car the most while driving it the way I do, I thinks its as simple as that.
Its a simple point being made. If you know anything about cars, you don't hit the rev limiter on purpose. Its childish really.
