Default How Often do you VTEC?

Suprisingly I rarely VTEC. I did it today in 1st gear just for fun but I do it maybe once a week? I'm just paranoid about keeping her in perfect mechanical condition...Sometimes I'll go crazy and do it several times but rarely Baby her way to much!! BTW I don't race, legal or illegal.

I think we're about polar opposites. There MIGHT be one day a week that I don't VTEC.....if I take the wife's PT Cruiser. Seriously though, in the warmer months the days that I don't VTEC are few and far between (1 day every 2-3 weeks). When it's cold, the car usually doesn't get warmed up before I make it to work so I might VTEC a couple of times a week.

I always VTEC... in the S or in the TSX (with proper engine temp). It is what it was designed to do... otherwise it is kind of like have NOS for the 'cool bottle look'.

I do it a couple times a week..... sometimes not too often, but if i go a couple of days w/out doing it, i really get the feeling like i have too much energy and need to go for a quick run! So I VTEC and I like it better in 2nd gear it seems louder
