Did I Mess Up My Transmission?
I let my girlfriend drive my car and we were stopped at the light. She wanted to see how fast my car goes so I told her she could floor it when the light turns green. I didn't realize the car was in "2" and she floored it up to 60-65MPH. Did I damange my transmission? I drove for about 100miles after that and I didn't feel any difference.

but that's not technically bad right? All it would have done is bounced off of it w/o damaging anything... perhaps excessive wear? Just curious too

The only bad thing you did was let your g/f drive your car fast, now she's going to find any excuse to want to drive your car and leave you with whatever she has (probably a 4banger camry, everybody's g/f has one of those).

My ex-girlfriend has a 4-banger Camry.

Moderation is key. Just don't go hitting the rev limiter 5x a day and you should be straight.

Maybe that's why I blew up my engine last month with only 35K miles on it...
Hmm...
That and track racing...
Food for thought...
(I did expect the VQ30 to be a little stronger though)

I find Pontiac Sunfires are also common g/f cars.

It's such a common thing here...don't know why.
I guess they like the small cheap 2 door automatic thing.
