Boxster as Daily Driver

[batshapedheart]

I have an 02 Base TIP Boxster I use as daily driver.

I've followed this forum for over a year now, getting tips and information that has definitely made my driving experience so much better.

Lately I've become worried as to what I kept reading as "engine abuse". Throughout this forum I keep reading about "keeping the revs up" but It seems the ECU on a Tiptronic doesn't agree; it shifts by the time it reaches around the 3K or even less.
My commute is being stuck in traffic for 13 minutes and I end up driving at 1900 revs on 5th.
I feel like my car is an untamable horse that I keep forcing to go slow. I can really feel its happiness when it's allowed to roam free [of speed limits].

I wanted to hear the experiences of those who use it as a daily driver.
Any input is apreciated.
